thumb|Ilmatar by Robert Wilhelm Ekman, 1860 Ilmatar () is a virgin spirit and goddess of the air in the Finnish national epic Kalevala.
==Origins== The name Ilmatar is derived from the Finnish word ilma, meaning "air," and the female suffix -tar, corresponding to the English "-ess". Thus, her name means Airess. In the Kalevala she was also occasionally called Luonnotar (), which means "Naturess," "female spirit of nature" (Finnish luonto, "nature").
