Etymology of "vestapol"

Hi,
Does anyone know the etymology of "vestapol," also "sevastapol" (a city on the Black Sea!), and "sebastapol." It's not in the OED or Brittanica.
And as long as I've got you, how about the meaning of "sukey" or "sookie"?
And just for good measure -- what is a "salty dog"?
Just curious. Thanks.
