Where this word comes from
Internationalism, ultimately from Lithuanian Lietuva (“Lithuania”). The Norwegian form belongs to a Germanic name family represented by German, Danish and Swedish Litauen. Medieval German sources used forms such as Lettowen, reflecting the Lithuanian stem liet-, while the later German form Litauen reflects the Slavic variant with lit-. The Lithuanian name is first attested in the Latin form Litua in 1009. Its deeper origin is disputed. One influential proposal derives it from the river name Lietava or Lietauka, but several other explanations have also been proposed. Parallel international adaptations include Danish Litauen, Swedish Litauen, German Litauen, Low German Litauen, Dutch Litouwen and Icelandic Litáen (“Lithuania”).
