Vičius

Cf. Vi̇̀čas, Výčas, Vičỹs, Vỹčius (see). The origin is not entirely clear. Could be a nickname surn., connected with lit. výti, vỹtis, vyti̇̀s, výtė́ti or the like. But development is also possible from some compound pers.n. - Výtauto or similar, cf. Taučius: Taut-vaišas, Taut-girdas, Taut-ginas ¹ or similar. Cf. still in Latv. Vīčs (LAG 228), Vīčs ².
