原Since "ute" is a common diminutive suffix used in many Lithuanian names (Laima, Laimute, Vaiva, Vaivute, etc, ) the name Danute might seem to come from "little Dana" in the same way Anita originates from "little Ana" in Spanish. This would not really hold true for the name Birute, since there is no such name as Bira, in Lithuanian. Both Danute and Birute were ancient patron goddesses associated for the vestal virgins who watched over a "sacred flame" kept burning in the center of each village in Old Europe.

Danuta在Luthenian日历是5月7日。今天是我的名字的一天，它已经这样多年了。
原Danuta in the Luthenian calendar was May 7. Today is my name day and it has been this way for many many years.

译 由于“ute”是许多立陶宛名字（Laima，Laimute，Vaiva，Vaivute等）中常用的缩写后缀，Danute的名字似乎来自“小Dana”，同样的方式Anita源于“小Ana”西班牙语。这对于Birute这个名字来说不是真的，因为在立陶宛没有Bira这样的名字。 Danute和Birute都是古老的守护神女神联系在一起的“神圣的火焰”在老欧洲的每个村庄的中心保持燃烧的皇族处女。
