Varbutas

Most likely a compound surn.: Vár-butas. The origin of the first vessel is unclear. More compounds pers.n. with sandu var- meanwhile unknown. From other Baltic languages ​​pers.n. here it might be appropriate to mention OPr. War-gaill, next to War-galle, and apparently War-gile ¹. Sanda can be compared with Lieut. varýti, varù „priverstinai“ (DLKŽ) or similar. For but- see Bùtauts.
