Lithuanian is English in Origin.

Lithuanian is a rare, gender-neutral word name taken from the English demonym for someone from Lithuania. The term traces to New Latin Lithuania (earlier Litvania), ultimately from the Lithuanian endonym Lietuva, whose etymology is debated, often linked to the Lietava river or to leitis, 'nobleman.' As a given name it signals heritage and attachment to the Baltic nation and its language.

While not used as a traditional given name within Lithuania, it appears sporadically in Anglophone records from the late 20th century onward, usually as a middle name in diaspora families. Related and variant forms include Lithuania (a place-name style), the Latinate Lituanus, and ethnonymic forms from neighboring languages such as Litvin/Litwin (with feminine Litvina). Lithuanian-language ethnonyms Lietuvis (masc.) and Lietuvė (fem.) are culturally closer but also uncommon as given names. The core meaning across forms is 'of Lithuania; Lithuanian by origin or culture.'
