The origin of the name of Vaiga, i.e. Vaiamaa ancient parish has been also related to the Votians, but even when the name is related to the Votians, this does not mean that the Votians had surely lived on this area.
Vadjalastega on seostatud ka Vaiga ehk Vaiamaa muinaskihelkonna nime päritolu, kuid isegi kui nimi on vadjalastega seotud, ei tähenda see siiski, et vadjalased sellel alal kindlasti elanud oleksid.
