Etymology
From the name of the Pärnu river, but the ultimate origin seems unclear. Seems to be related to pärn (“linden”), which might be folk etymology, but other theories have been proposed. Possibly of Germanic (*berô, an n-stem) or Pre-Finnic origin. See also Veps pern (“river bank”). Seems to be cognate to the Finnish toponyms Pernaja, Perniö, and Pernoo.
