Derkintis

DERKIÑTIS

Etymology

The surname Derkiñtis is likely to have evolved later from the gender Darkiñtis (see). True, phonetically, the conversion of dar- to der- is not easily explained, but other similar cases ¹ confirm that exactly this, and not the reverse, conversion is more possible. See also Job.
