Dzingelis
DZIÑGELIS
Etymology
It is not clear whether it is related to Dzi̇̀nga (see) or how it is composed differently, cf. (?) Polish Dzięgel ¹, Dzięgil (SSNO I 565). On the other hand, it can also be a nickname, cf. lit. needle „trikampė geležis, su kuria pritariama armonikai; išdykęs vaikas“ (LKŽ II 1002).
