Saabolda is a village in Setomaa Parish, Võru County in southeastern Estonia. Prior to the 2017 administrative reform of local governments, it was located in Värska Parish.
==Name== Saabolda was attested in historical sources as Заболотье (Zabolot′ye) in 1585, Заболотья (Zabolot′ya) in 1780, and Sabola in 1886, among other variations of the name. According to Jaak Simm, the village name derives from the Russian prefix за (za) 'behind' + the stem болото (boloto) 'swamp' + the suffix ье (ye), thus meaning 'place behind the swamp, beyond the swamp'. The place name Заболотье (Zabolot′ye) is common in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Jüri Truusmann suggested a connection with Lithuanian bala 'swamp, mire, morass', Estonian palu 'steppe, sandy spruce forest, dry plain with shrubs', and Finnish paltto, paltta 'slope, edge', but these are not tenable.
