About Birutė
Also appearing as Biruta, 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, known for her work with orangutans. It likely comes from birti meaning "to scatter, pour out", paired with a diminutive suffix. It could therefore be interpreted as meaning "little outpouring".
Pronounced bee-ROO-tuh.
