Name

[edit]

Torupilli is named after the Torupilli Inn, which stood across the street at the intersection of Tartu Street (Tartu maantee) and C. R. Jakobson Street (C. R. Jakobsoni tänav ). The inn, attested as early as 1803, had an image of a bagpiper on its sign. The name is also seen in the street name Torupilli ots [et] (literally, 'bagpipe end').[2]
