Lithuanian female given names come from the Lithuanian language and often show distinct feminine morphology. Most end in -ė or -a (Aldona, Dagnė, Dalia, Audra, Birutė, Austėja, Austė, Auksė). Feminine forms may be derived from other bases using -ė or -a, and hypocoristics frequently use diminutive suffixes such as -utė and -ytė. Lithuanian orthography with diacritics is standard in official records.

Contemporary use combines revived Baltic and historical names with Christian-era forms. Nature and mythological references appear in some female names (Audra “storm,” Austėja linked to a bee goddess). Note that -ienė marks a married woman’s surname, not a given name.
