Mizara

Cf. Mi̇̀zar, Mi̇̀zer, Mi̇̀zer (see). Perhaps a nickname surn., connected with lit. mi̇̀zara „kas dažnai verkia“, mi̇̀zaroti „verkšlenti, verkti“ (LKŽ VIII 301). Although other connections are possible, cf. polish Misera: Polish. mizera „menkas, neturtingas, vargšas žmogus“, Mizior ¹. Cf. Z. Zinkevičius, 1977, p. 175.
