According to Viljo Nissilä, the name may derive from earlier *Imantero or *Imanteri, perhaps from a lost given name ultimately derived from imeä. Alternatively, according to Pauli Rahkonen, possibly (although not certainly) from a Uralic (Meryan-East Chudian) substrate language, where the initial component may derive from *emä (“mother”) and the latter -dra derives from *jädrä, from *jäwrä (“lake”); thus the name would initially have referred to the lake Saimaa. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈimɑtrɑ/, [ˈimɑ̝t̪rɑ̝] Rhymes: -imɑtrɑ Syllabification(key): I‧mat‧ra Hyphenation(key): I‧mat‧ra === Proper noun === Imatra Imatra (a town and municipality of South Karelia, Finland) ==== Declension ==== The external locative cases (adessive, allative and ablative) are used with this place name when referring to a location; for example, "in Imatra" is Imatralla. ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Anagrams === Maarit, Marita, raamit
