Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from the Lithuanian verb skirti, which usually means "to give, to devote, to dedicate" but has also been found to mean "to divide, to separate" as well as "to determine, to establish, to identify". The second element is derived from Baltic vyd meaning "to see" (see Vytautas). Also compare other names that end in -vydas, such as Alvydas and Tautvydas.
