Sikupilli

The Estonian common noun sikupill literally means 'goat instrument' and is a synonym for torupill 'bagpipe'.^[2] There are three hypotheses regarding why the neighborhood was given this name. The architectural and urban historian Robert Nerman [et] suggested that many residents of the area kept goats, and so it was named after their bleating. Another theory connects the name with the neighboring subdistrict of Torupilli. A third hypothesis mentions a pasture named Sikupilli in the Lasnamäe district, suggesting that this name was later extended to the neighborhood.^[3]
