Vytautas is Lithuanian in Origin.
Vytautas is a Lithuanian masculine name from vyti meaning to drive, chase, lead and tauta meaning people, nation. It is interpreted as leader of the people or he who drives the nation, evoking command and civic vigor. The root links to Vytis, the mounted knight on Lithuania's coat of arms.
Its fame rests on Grand Duke Vytautas the Great (c. 1350-1430), whose rule expanded the Grand Duchy and figured at Grunwald (1410), spreading the name across Baltic-Slavic realms. Polish Witold and East Slavic Vitovt are historic variants; Belarusian Vitaut and Latvian Vitauts also occur. Lithuanian short form Vytas is common, and the feminine is Vytaute. The name saw national revival in the 20th century and remains a classic in Lithuania and the diaspora.
