[(s)AINT]

Looks Slavic, maybe polish.

[Aunt Hilda]

come on, I linked the Wikipedia article :p

[Stefan_Dusan]

She looks very Baltic or Scandinavian. I often can't tell difference.

[Aunt Hilda]

She looks very Baltic or Scandinavian. I often can't tell difference.

balts are often west-baltid, Scandinavians have more east-baltids(but far from the being common)

[Neanderthal]

Pred Baltid with East-Nordid tendencies.

[Ice]

She's hot!

[Mark]

West Baltid + CM + Nordid + very minor Norid/Noric (depicted more in 3rd image)

[Pontios]

Nordid and Baltid.

[ChocolateFace]

West Baltid/Alpine/Nordid

[rashka]

Nordo-Faelid. She has a very Germanic look.

Nordo-Faelid. She has a very Germanic look.

ok

[Manuel]

Doesn't look Slavic to me:(

She does have a Germanic look imo.

[Aunt Hilda]

If you mean that she might have some memellander blood...The article says she was born in Klaipėda but her parents are from Telšiai. Her surname is not memellander as well...

I know, Šeduikis is not a prussian name.( prussian-lithuanian names usually end with an -us, E.g.: Jankus)


I just like her song, I'm not trying to prussianise her.

[Mans not hot]

I disagree with others who said that she look Polish; she doesn't.

[Arbërori]

Oh beautiful woman!

Gorid-Nordid with slight CM.

[Aunt Hilda]

-us endings are widespread in Lithuania Major as well.
Memellander names and surnames very often are German or atypical to Lithuanian Major. (I'm not talking about endings.)

In my experience(a very limited one, I'll grant you that) memellanders tended to have names like Jankus, Simkus, Mockus an so on.

[Aunt Hilda]

I'm not saying that this is true in all cases just that German surname usually indicates Lietuvininkai ancestry.

as I said, my experience is very limited. I just noticed that non-german surnames tended to end with an -us.

[Roy]

Faelid with some Baltid. I agree with XtraXavier that she doesn't look Polish but can pass as well.

[Roy]

Lol, Mordid once said she looks like his mother. And his mother looks something like this:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/382424_322167464542246_364382157_n.jpg

I once saw a softer and darker looking version of such woman in Lithuania, looked foreign tbh.


This woman isn't Faelid. West Baltid + Baltid rather. Her eyes strike me as Eastern looking.

[JeanBaMac]

North Pontid/West Baltid.

Proto-Baltic type?


Reconstruction of a Yotvingian (western Balt).


http://oi61.tinypic.com/soa2yq.jpg

[Insuperable]

North Pontid with maybe a bit of Alpine.

[Jinn]

Baltid + Mediterranid admix.

[Eusocial]

Baltid with minor Dinaric and Uralid(?). Not really Nordid per se, except insofar as Nordid-Borreby-Baltid have all influenced each other.

not really a match. the nose, forehead and jawline are off. the only similarity is the big chin.

[Xanthias]

Baltid/nordid could easely pass in Finland.

[Peikko]

Nordid+CM and minor baltid. She can pass in Finland and Scandinavia and probably in Germany.

fair enough.

Although if we talk about primitive looking Liths, I would go with ineta puzaraite

could be, is Szedowka a polish name?

[Sandman]

Nope.

[Veneda]

'Szwedówka' does not exist in Polish language. We have a surname Szwed, which means a person who is probably of Swedish origin. 8k+ people in Poland bear the name Szwed.

the lithuanization of ''Szwed'' is ''Švedas/Švedė''. Linkus said Samogitians took the name after some battle with sweden.
So it's probably not the same as ''Šeduikytė''.

[War Chef]

I googled her. She's not really primitive looking just one of those few people who's better off not smiling. When she doesn't smile she actually looks pretty good:

Compare:

http://i59.tinypic.com/do5o4z.jpg

Huge difference. The 2nd one looks like she has down-syndrome and I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, the first, definitely yes.

[Veneda]

There is not such a word as "Szwedówka" in Polish official language, but it sounds very close to our hearts. When you put aside official language rules, "Szwedówka" or better and correctly "Szwedka" means a girl/woman from Sweden :)

[Rugevit]

could be, is Szedowka a polish name?

There's a surname Szedow/Szedowa among Russians. And there's a village Szedowka in north-western Russia. However, the word Szedowka is spelled in Polish.

Nordo-Baltid.

Kozuchowska seems to have more Corded Nordid admixture, since Seduikyte looks mostly CM (Borreby or West Baltid).

[Raven_]

oh my goodness. how many times does it have to be said that Slavic sounding surnames do not indicate foreign ancestry.

Who's this broad !? Got a frontal picture !?

[Rugevit]

How can you tell if the person is ethnic Balt or Slav given his or her surname is present among Slavs and Balts? Let's say Butkevič spells his surname as Butkevičius in Lithuania.

[Ctwentysevenj]

A pretty Lithuanian girl:thumb001:

Most people who carry your given surname (which is quite popular, btw) are ethnic Lithuanians. Butkevich who chooses to be Butkevičius will likely have a Slavic first name. By the way, surname Butkevičius has a Baltic root. :p

[Rugevit]

Yes, given names will reveal ethnic backgrounds... By the way Jurga Šeduikytė has two songs in Russian in her 'Metronomes' album : "Я Слежу За Тобой" & "Мне Уже Не Важно". And she sings without accent.


By the way, surname Butkevičius has a Baltic root. :p

What does the root of the surname mean in Lithuanian? :)

The etymological dictionary of surnames I have states that surname Butkevich was formed from a given name Butko or Budko which are short versions of Budimir, Budislav or Budisha. Surnames Butka, Butko, Butkovich are present in Croatia. Butkevich and Butkovsky/Butkowski - in Belarus and Poland.

That's because she has been living in Moscow for several years.

The root is found in Old Lithuanian names such as Butautas, Butrimas, etc. There is a surname Buta. Butkevčius formed in a similar way as Tautkevičius. It is related to the word būti (exist).

She looks Finnish. (East Baltid race).
Balts are relatively diverse, some of them look Finnish, others look more Eastern European. But they have on average more Finno-Ugric genes than Slavs.

[Davy Jones's Locker]

West-Baltid with Nordpontid

Agree.

[Aunt Hilda]

ok, did some research. her last name comes from ''Šeduikis'' or ''Šedỹs''. origin Unknown, it's could be a shortening for: Šedbãras, Šẽdvartas, Šedvỹdis, Šedvila.

related names.
Polish: Szednik, Szedula.
Belorussian: Шэдаў, Шеды
Russian: Шедин, Шедов
German: Schede, Scheda, Schäde, Schädle

Instead of trying to force make her name Slavic or German try the other way - others can have "Balt" name

(Slavic y-dna almost not existent in the Baltic states)
