Ruta is Lithuanian in Origin.
Ruta (Lithuanian Rūta) is a feminine given name of Baltic origin meaning “rue” (the aromatic herb, Ruta graveolens). In Lithuanian and Latvian tradition, rūta is a potent folk symbol linked to maidenhood, love, and protection, appearing widely in dainos and in wedding customs such as the rue wreath.
As a given name, it gained modern popularity in Lithuania and Latvia during the 19th–20th‑century national revivals and remains common; diaspora often writes Ruta without the macron. Variants include Rūta (standard Baltic), Ruta (international), and Lithuanian diminutives Rūtė and Rūtelė; related masculine Rūtenis. Across Slavic countries the word ruta denotes rue, so the name also appears there as a nature name. Though phonetically close to Ruth, Ruta is etymologically unrelated, evoking purity, steadfast love, and healing.
