Austeja is Lithuanian in Origin.
Austeja is the international spelling of the Lithuanian name Austėja. In Baltic tradition, Austėja is the bee and fertility goddess, guardian of pregnant women and patron of beekeepers, so the name carries associations of industry, sweetness, and communal harmony. Some scholars connect the root to Lithuanian austi “to weave,” evoking honeycomb patterns, while others see links to words for humming or buzzing; all readings emphasize the world of bees.
Used as a given name since the Lithuanian national revival, Austėja gained steady currency in the 20th century and surged in popularity in Lithuania in the early 2000s. Variants include diacriticless Austeja, with pet forms such as Austė. The name has limited but growing international use among the Lithuanian diaspora and admirers of Baltic mythology, retaining its core meaning of protection, fertility, and diligent creativity.
