Meaning & History
This name can be the Lithuanian form of the latinate name Undine as well as be an independent, authentic Lithuanian name. In the case of the latter, the name is derived from the Lithuanian noun undinė meaning "mermaid", which in turn is derived from undeniu, a dialectal form of the Lithuanian noun vanduo meaning "water". As a result, one could say that undinė is basically the dialectal form or variant of the Lithuanian noun vandenė, which also means "mermaid" (see Vandenė).
