Lithuanian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Proto-Balto-Slavic *úngnis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁n̥gʷnís. The expected reflex of Winter's Law would have been blocked by the cluster -nCn-, compare vanduõ (“water”). However, see Proto-Slavic *vygъňь (“forge, hearth”) < *ūˀgnis.[1]

Ugnis is also known as the very rare name, "Agnish" - Agni (Fire) + Ish (Lord) which translates to Lord of Fire in Vedic Aryan culture from the Indian Subcontinent. It is also found in Lithuanian origin of names due to having the same common Indo-European root.[2]
