Etymology of Sutera:
For Johann Rudolf Suter (1766–1827), Swiss physician, botanist, politician and professor. He studied classical philology and natural sciences at the University of Göttingen, PhD (1787), and philosophy and medicine at Mainz, MD (1794). He practised as a doctor in Zofingen until 1798. He became politically involved in the Jacobin Republic of Mainz, and later became a subprefect of the district of Zofingen, a member of the Canton of Aargau, and of the Switzerland’s Grand Council in the Helvetic government (1798–1800), belonging to the Reform Party. In 1802, he published his book on Swiss flora, Flora Helvetica, with the help of Johannes Hegetschweiler (1789–1839). In 1819 he became professor of philosophy, Greek literature and history at the Academy of Berne.
