Toliotas
Lithuanian
Etymology
(Baltic origin:) Composed of the two stems tolėti (“to move away”) + iotas.
(Germanic origin:) Some Germanist scholars who study Baltic onomastics claimed that the name Toliotas and its Slavic cognates are of Gothic origin and that they are composed of tals (“witty, diligent”) + iuþa (“child, newborn”). This perspective disputes analyses that construct the name solely from Balto-Slavic onomastics.[1]
