%X In this article, the names of Clupea harengus membras will be considered in Estonian, (Salaca) Livonian and Latvian (respectively r im, re¨½  and re  e ¡®Baltic herring¡¯). It will be shown that the source of all of these words is the Estonian-Swedish str mg (str ¦Çg), or its preceding word shape *str img. The Latvian re  e is borrowed from Estonian-Swedish through Salaca Livonian. Paul Ariste proposed an adequate etymology for the Estonian r im as early as 1933.
