Egidijus is Lithuanian in Origin.
Egidijus is a Lithuanian masculine name, the local form of the Latin Aegidius, itself from Greek Aigidion, “young goat, kid.” Through its root aigis, the goatskin shield of Zeus and Athena, the name also carries a traditional sense of protection or guardianship.
It gained currency across Europe via the cult of Saint Giles (Latin Aegidius), a 7th‑century hermit‑abbot and one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, prompting medieval dedications and the spread of related forms. In Lithuanian records, Egidijus appears with Christianization-era naming and remained in steady use into the 20th century. International variants include Giles (English), Gilles (French), Egidio (Italian, Spanish), Gil (Iberian), Ägidius/Egidius (German), Egidius (Dutch), Jiljí (Czech), Idzi (Polish), and Egyed (Hungarian). Lithuanian diminutives such as Egis or Egidukas are common; the feminine counterpart is Egidija.
