    In Lithuanian surnames are declined, there are seven cases
    In Prussian-Lithuanian father, mother, daughter and son have different suffixes. There are Singular, Dual (two people, four cases) and Plural forms.
    Adding it all up, we arrive at more than 70 suffixes.
    The following shows the singular forms of father, mother, daughter and son of the surname RIMKUS.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    In der artikellosen litauischen Sprache werden Eigennamen wie alle Substantive dekliniert. Es gibt 7 Fälle:

    Nominativ: RIMKUS yra geras vyras = Rimkus ist ein guter Mann.
    Genitiv: Ši knyga yra RIMKAUS = Dieses Buch gehört Rimkus.
    Dativ: Perduok šią knygą RIMKUI! = Gib Rimkus dieses Buch!
    Akkusativ: Pasveikink RIMKų su gimtadieniu = Gratuliere Rimkus zum Geburtstag.
    Instrumental: RIMKUMI galima pasitikėti = Wir können Rimkus vertrauen.
    Lokativ: RIMKUJE slepiasi kažkokia jėga = In Rimkus steckt Kraft.
    Vokativ: RIMKAU, eik namo! = Rimkus, geh nach Hause!

    Namensendungen des Sohnes, sie können regional variieren, in Ostpreußen überwiegen -ATIS und -AITIS, -UNAS ist seltener:
    N. Rimkūnas, Rimkaitis
    G. Rimkūno, Rimkaičio
    D. Rimkūnui, Rimkaičiui
    A. Rimkūną, Rimkaitį
    I. Rimkūnu, Rimkaičiu
    L. Rimkūne, Rimkaityje
    V. Rimkūnai! Rimkaiti!

    Namensendungen einer verheirateten Frau: Rimkuvienė, Rimkuvienės, Rimkuvienei, Rimkuvienę, Rimkuviene, Rimkuvienėje, Rimkuviene
    Namensendungen einer unverheirateten Frau: Rimkutė, Rimkutės, Rimkutei, Rimkutę, Rimkute, Rimkutėje, Rimkute

    Dazu kommen neben den Pluralformen in Ostpreußen noch die Formen des Duals, die im heutigen Litauisch verschwunden sind.

    Yes, -ová is a femal suffix of Czech and Slovak lastnames.
    Samples:
    Male / Female

    Havel / Havlová
    Kvita / Kvitová
    Navrátil / Navrátilová
    etc.

    But female forms of lastname with endings will be changed to , instead:
    Veselý / Veselá
    Černý / Černá
    etc.
