JÙNDZILA

Etymology

Cf. lit. Jandzila, Jùndila, Indilà Iñdilas, Juñdzil, Jundzel (see). Mostly, apparently, a nickname, associated with lit. juñdilas „kas nuolat juda; nenuorama, padauža, išdykėlis“ (LKŽ IV 377), iñdilas „kas visur lenda, kišasi; lindikas; išdykėlis, nenuorama, peštukas“ ¹. Only in one other case could one suspect a certain connection with Lenk. Jandel, Jandal ², German. Jundel ³, Jundel ⁴. Cf. still in Latv. Jundzis (LAG 129), Jundza ⁵.
