Liubinaitė is the maiden name form of Liubinas, from Slavic 'Lubin' or 'Любин' a hypocoristic of a name such as Lubomir or Lubogost. Kontrimienė is the married name form of Kontrimas, a variant of the personal name Kantrimas, from the Baltic elements 'kant-' ("respectful; patient") and 'rim-' ("calm").Sources:
