Birute

Traditionally spelled as Birutė in its native Lithuania, this name was borne by the 15th century mother of the Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania and by Birutė Marija Filomena Galdikas, a Canadian scientist, anthropologist, and primatologist. It likely comes from birti meaning "to scatter, pour out", paired with a diminutive suffix; as such, it could be interpreted as meaning "little outpouring".

Pronounced bir-OO-tay.

As of October 2026, Birute ranked #3282 for girls in US births in 1953 SSA.
