Kreeta

  1. a female given name
    • 1864, Aleksis Kivi, Nummisuutarit, SKS, published 1956, act I:
      Kreeta! pääni pyörään käy, koska muistelen, että kohta olen yhtä kanssas, eli toisin, minä tulen sinuksi ja sinä minuksi, sanalla sanoen, Esko on Kreeta ja Kreeta on Esko; ja kutsukoot meitä sitten joko Eskokreetaksi eli Kreetaeskoksi.
      Kreeta! my head feels like spinning, as I remember how I am one with you, that is to say, I become you and you me, and so to say, Esko is Kreeta and Kreeta is Esko, and let us be called Eskokreeta or Kreetaesko.
    • 1870 Aleksis Kivi, Seitsemän veljestä (Seven Brothers): Chapter 3 (Translation 1991 by Richard A. Impola):
      Kaisan huulet massahtelee, / Napsuttelee kirves; / Kreeta-muori Kaisan kynsiss’ / Juttuu hampaat irviss’.
      On her cupping tool / Kaisa smacks her lip. / Greta talks through gritted teeth, / Squirming in her grip.
