Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Lithuanian
Usage note
[edit | edit source]Lithuanian surnames change with gender. A married woman uses her husband’s surname with the ending -iene in place of the -is, -as, -a, -ius, -us, -ys or other suffix (Brazaitis -> Brazaitiene, Klimas -> Klimiene, Tubelis -> Tubeliene, Petkus -> Petkiene, Genys -> Geniene, Filipavicius -> Filipaviciene, Klypa -> Klypiene), so that the wife of Vytautas Genevicius would be Ilze Geneviciene. Women who have not yet gotten married use a form of their father’s surname ending in -te. Names ending in -us change to -ute (Jankus -> Jankute, Markevicius -> Markeviciute), so that the daughter of Andrius Karalius would be Irena Karaliute. Names ending in -a or -as change to -aite (Daukantas -> Daukantaite, Jonauskas -> Jonauskaite, Mazaika -> Mazaikaite), so that Mr. Kaminskas’ daughter would receive the surname Kaminskaite. Names ending in -is or -ys become -yte in daughter form (Gaivenis -> Gaivenyte, Kupsys -> Kupsyte, Bylaitis -> Bylaityte). Names ending in -skis, however, become -skaite (Bagdanskis -> Bagdanskaite), so that Jonas Jablonskis and Danute Jablonskiene would name their daughter Marija Jablonskaite.
