Lithuanian Boy Names
Lithuanian male names draw primarily from the Lithuanian language and long-established Christian (saints’) naming. Masculine grammatical forms typically end in -as, -is, or -us, which signal the nominative masculine (e.g., Benediktas, Algirdas, Dovydas). Male diminutive or hypocoristic forms often use -ukas and -elis (e.g., Antanukas, Antanelis); these are common in affectionate use, and some appear in official records.
Current practice mixes revived Baltic names with traditional Christian names and shorter modern forms. Examples include Adomas, Antanas, Benediktas, Augustinas, Algirdas, Arvydas, Audrys, Dovydas, Benas, and Arnas.
