Unmarried Female Spellings

by Tom S.

 

Margaret,

As John Peters indicated in his earlier email, Lithuanian custom is to modify the ending of the family surname for females. Married female surnames all end in IENE.

Unmarried female surname spellings can end in UTE (IUTE in older versions), AITE, or YTE depending upon the surname ending.

Your INTE and UTI surname ending indicate an unmarried female spelling of the surname.

Hope this helps.

Tom S.
