Name
Keskküla was attested in written sources as Groodt Keszküll and Klein Keszküll in 1534, and as Keskull maior and Keskull minor in 1539. The names refer to a former pair of villages, literally 'big Keskküla' and 'little Keskküla'. In the 18th century, the latter developed into what is now Kasari, and the former developed into Keskküla Manor . The name literally means 'middle village'.[2]
