Paulinas is Latin in Origin.
Paulinas is a Lithuanian masculine given name ultimately from the Latin Paulinus, a derivative of Paulus meaning “small” or “humble.” The -as ending reflects standard Lithuanian adaptation of Latin names. Through church Latin and the veneration of early saints, the form became established across Christian Europe and later entered Baltic usage.
In records it is rarer than Paulius in Lithuania, but appears in 19th- and 20th-century Catholic registers and sometimes honors Saint Paulinus of Nola or Paulinus of York. Variants and cognates include Paulinus (Latin/English), Paulius (Lithuanian), Paulina/Pauline (feminine), Paulīns and Paulīna (Latvian), Paulin (French, also Polish), Paulino (Spanish/Portuguese), and Paolino (Italian). Nicknames such as Pauli or Pauly occur informally. The name conveys the Christian virtue of humility and modesty while offering a distinctive, scholarly Baltic flavor.
