Gebenius

GEBENIUS

Etymology

Theoretically, it could be considered a derivative of gẽbenē, gebēnē, gebenē̃ „pūslė, spuogas, pauškulė, išbėrimas“ (LKŽ III 191). However, especially due to geography, it is likely to be associated with Gibẽnius (the root vowel e after g may be dialectal).

Feminine FORMS

Gebenienė / Gebeniūtė
