Mėlynis

MĖLỸNIS

Etymology

Cf. Meli̇̀nis (see). Perhaps connected with lit. blue, blue „mėlyna dėmė“ (LKŽ VII 1030-1031). But due to the unclear relation of the surname Mėlỹnis and especially Meli̇̀nis to Mieli̇̀nis (see), this association may appear inaccurate in one case.

Feminine FORMS

Mėlynienė / Mėlynytė

Pronunciation

/mʲeː²ˈlʲiːnʲɪs/
