I have in my collection more than 2,000 of such names, but the lack of space does not permit me to give them all here.
XI. In Greece there are very many inhabitants whose surnames are Lithuanian, names exactly similar to those we find amongst the inhabitants of Lithuania.
Lithuanians that live in large American cities are very often misled, when, after seeing a store sign with a Lithuanian name, they go in to buy something. What a surprise when they learn that the proprietor isn't Lithuanian, but Greek! Ask that Greek storekeeper, whose name is Lithuanian, what is the meaning of his name, --- he can't explain. And after careful analysis, we find that such names sprung up from the ancient Goths. History tells us that in the Third Century, about 30,000 Gothic warriors occupied Moesia, Thracia, Illyria, and other Greek provinces and settled there with their families.
In Spain also we note many inhabitants with Lithuanian names. Indeed they have some Gothic blood in them, because the Balthagudae (Visigoths) ruled over Spain for many centuries until they lost their native entity; but their surnames still survive. Readers will find some more information concerning this question in my monograph "HOW LITHUANIAN NAMES ORIGINATED AMONGST THE GREEK AND SPANISH PEOPLES".
From the studies of the Gothic names we learn, that Goths were the nearest kinsmen to the Lithuanian people.
XII. On ancient Gothic coins, the names of the Gothic kings are Lithuanian. The inscriptions on those coins are the most authentic records of the names of the Gothic kings. Although the Romans and Greeks Latinized those Gothic names, at least they didn't corrupt them as badly as the Germans did when writing those names down in their books.
There are many more proofs of the kinship of the Gothic nation to the Lithuanian nation. This volume is devoted not only to ethnology, but also to history and numismatics, therefore the twelve given arguments should be enough.
