Magasas

Cf. Magys, Magáuskas, Magẽnis, Magẽvičius, Magi̇̀nskas, Magonis, Magūnas (see). The origin is unclear. Perhaps some of these surnames with Slavic suffixes are later formed from various Lithuanian genders. The root mag- could be connected with lit. magùs „viliojamas, patrauklus“ (LKŽ VII 732), magė́ti „rūpėti, norėtis“ ¹ and so on. See also Possible.
