From Wikipedia

Saunags (Livonian: Sǟnag) is a populated place in Kolka Parish, Talsi Municipality, Latvia, located 10 kilometres (6 mi) from the Cape Kolka, within the borders of Slītere National Park. The name derived from Livonian Sǟnag – pike perch (Sander), a local fish. First mentioned in documents in 1310, Saunags is the oldest of the twelve Livonian villages along the Livonian Coast. The settlement comprises two parts — Saunags and Dižsaunags (Great Saunags), the latter being the older and better preserved.
