Radzys

RADZỸS

Etymology

Cf. lit. Rãdzias, Rãdzis, Rãdzius (see). Mostly from Rãdžius, Radỹs (see) or the like. However, as the geography of these surnames shows, not all of them may have their root radz- due to dzūka from rad- (for it see Radỹs) or raž- (see Rãdžius). Therefore, apparently, an independent root radz- is also possible. For her cf. polish Radz, Radzek (SSNO IV 428-429), bRuss. Paдзь: Poдиoн ¹. See below Radio.
