My middle name is Ruth, so this is interesting. I think it sounds a lot more authentic and beautiful than Ruth.

I just found out about name Ruta-Ruth- very interesting conjunction. My name is Ruta (Lithuanian name meaning "flower") but in Hebrae Ruth means "friend" but my last name is REUtaite but in soviet time it was trancripted to RIAutaite so my name and last name mean the same - friend. I think it's a very, very interesting conjunction.
Ruth means "friendship", but the two names aren't listed as being related on btn.com, and I wonder why. They practically mean the same and are very much alike. I suppose they do have the same word as a root, but it doesn't show on btn for some reason. Or am I wrong? [noted -ed]
