Lithuanian male and female names are distinguished grammatically. Almost all Lithuanian female names end in the vowels -a or - ė, while male names almost always end in -s, and rarely in a vowel -a or -ė, e.g. Mozė ( Moses ). If a masculine name ending in -a has a feminine counterpart, it ends in -ė, e.g. Jogaila and Jogailė.
A number of Lithuanian surnames evolved from the ancient pre-Christian Lithuanian personal names, such as Budrys, Girdenis, Tylenis, Vilkas, Amantas, Bukantas, Rimgaila, Vizgirda, Tarvydas. [1], Many of them are of compound type, typically consisting of two stems (dithematic names), and many are of single stem.
Common places used as surnames include Dibra, Laci, Shkodra, Prishtina, Delvina, Koroveshi and Permeti, as well as the famous Frasheri surname of the Frasheri family. Additionally common some names indicate regional origins: Gega/Gegaj (for one of Gheg origin ), Tosku/Toskaj (signifying Tosk origin) and Chami (for Cham origin ).
