Name Root:
(VYTAUTAS) (WIDALD)
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Lithuanian “Vytautas” composed of two elements: “vyti” (chase) plus “tauta” (the people). In turn, the name means “people who speak” or “conducive to the people.” It is also possible that it is a name of Germanic origin, which means “ruling the forest.” This name appears in Polish documents in the fourteenth century, and it was recorded as Witołt, Witowd, and Witold. As a baptismal name, it only began to be widely used in the 19th-century, perhaps influenced by Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski’s historical novel. Vytautas Didysis was one of the most famous rulers of medieval Lithuania. Vytautas was the ruler (1392–1430) of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which chiefly encompassed the Lithuanians and Ruthenians.
