How was the Baltic Sea formed?

This is a hard answer to pin down, because no-one really knows. So this answer is really speculation.

The first person to name it as the Baltic Sea (Mare Balticum) was the 11th century German chronicler Adam of Bremen.
Some claim it might be connected to the Germanic word belt, a name used for two of the Danish straits, the Belts, while others claim it to be derived from Latin balteus (belt). While others believe that it is derived from the Danish baelte, which also means belt.
All we know for certain is that Adam of Bremen describe it as 'Balticus, eo quod in modum baltei longo tractu per Scithicas regiones tendatur usque in Greciam', roughly translates as ' it stretches through the land as a belt.'
