Where this word comes from

The place name is translated from Swedish Masaby, in which the former part derives from a vernacular form (such as Mase, Masi) of Mats/Matts or Mattias; the latter part is by (“village”), thus literally something like “Matts' village”. The surname could derive as a Fennicized form of the surname Masalin. By surface analysis, Masa + -la.
