What is the meaning of the name Šarūnas ?

The baby name Šarūnas is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sha-ROO-nahs.

Šarūnas is Lithuanian in Origin.

Šarūnas is a Lithuanian masculine name built on the adjective šarus, an older Lithuanian word glossed as quick or nimble, with the related verb šariuoti describing rapid movement or scurrying. The form uses the common masculine nominative ending -as on a Šarūn- stem. Its root language is Lithuanian, and the earliest identifiable lexical base is šarus rather than a securely attested medieval personal name.

Modern recognition owes much to Vincas Krėvė-Mickevičius, whose story about the legendary duke of Merkinė, Šarūnas, helped establish the name in Lithuanian cultural memory in the early twentieth century. It remains mainly Lithuanian, with Sarunas used where diacritics are omitted and Šarūnė as the feminine counterpart. Public bearers include basketball figures Šarūnas Marčiulionis and Šarūnas Jasikevičius, which has made the name more visible outside Lithuania.
