Meaning & History
Astrauskaitė is a Lithuanian feminine surname, derived from the masculine form Astrauskas. In Lithuanian naming tradition, the suffix -aitė indicates an unmarried woman or daughter, while -ienė (as in Astrauskienė) marks a married woman. The root of the name traces further back to the Polish surname Ostrowski, which originates from the Polish word ostrów, meaning "river island." Thus, Astrauskaitė ultimately signifies "daughter of the one from the river island."
