Labas, community,
A new article is out, and this one is about something you see every day in Lithuania: surnames.
Why does one family have Dambrauskas, Dambrauskienė and Dambrauskaitė? And why do Lithuanian surnames have to end in certain ways at all?
In the article, we explain the logic behind traditional and modern surname forms, what those endings actually mean, and what they reveal about language, history, and identity.
If Lithuanian surnames have ever confused you (be honest), this will finally make things clear.
Go have a read and let us know what surprised you most.
