Legend
Katsina, the village named after Gatchina
Katsina küla nimelugu
Katsina, a small village in Kose parish, began as the sauna hamlet of Rava, and on Russian maps around 1900 it appears as Гатсина. Local tradition tells how it got this foreign name. In the mid-19th century a group of labourers and peasants from Triigi manor set off for Russia, hoping to find free land and escape the manor lord's yoke. They got as far as Gatchina near St Petersburg, where they were turned back, because emigrants needed a permit and a fixed destination. When they returned, the lord settled them in a new village and mockingly named it Katsina.

Eesti keeles
Kose kihelkonna väike Katsina küla sai alguse Rava saunakülana ja vene kaartidel on see 1900. aasta paiku kirjas kui Гатсина. Pärimus räägib, kust võõrapärane nimi tuli. XIX sajandi keskel asus rühm Triigi mõisa töölisi ja talupoegi teele Venemaale, lootes leida vaba maad ja pääseda mõisniku ikke alt. Nad jõudsid Gattšinani, kust nad tagasi saadeti, sest väljarändajal pidi olema luba ja kindel sihtkoht. Kui nad naasid, asutas mõisnik nad uude külla ja pani sellele pilkavalt nimeks Katsina.
