Cf. Saũkas, Sáukis, Saukỹs, Saukus (see). The origin is unclear. Limm. Sauka ¹, Sauke ² corresponds to Lit. surn. with shout- (see Shaukelis). Connection with Lieut. saũkti „tęsiamu balsu šaukti, dainuoti“ (LKŽ XII 189) can only be suspected. Most often, apparently, it is associated with bRuss. Cаўка, Cаўкo, Cавка: Cавва ³, Russian.
