The name Vytautas is derived from the Lithuanian word “Vita” meaning “to know”. It is also sometimes said to mean “ruler” or “conqueror”. The name has royal associations and is well-known in Lithuania due to King Vytautas, who was a national hero and one of the most significant rulers in Lithuanian history.
Vytautas, also known as Vytautas the Great from the late 14th century onwards, was a ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He was also the prince of Grodno (1370–1382), prince of Lutsk (1387–1389), and the postulated king of the Hussites.
