This particular spelling of the given name Wilhelmina originated in older times, when people had varying degrees of literacy and when the Dutch and German languages were not yet standardized to the degree that they are today.

From Lithuanian legends about Neringa and Naglis. The exact origin and meaning of the name are uncertain, however some scholars believe that it is derived from Old Prussian neria "to dive (like a swimmer)."

In Lithuanian folklore, Neringa is a beautiful, gentle giantess who built a mound of sand to keep the stormy waves of the Baltic sea at bay and protect the village and the people who live in it. One day, she catches the eye of Naglis, a dragon (some legends call him a sea serpent) living nearby, who madly falls in love with her. When Naglis realizes that his love is unrequited, in his wrath and his grief, he starts eating the fishermen living in Neringa's village one by one. Neringa is greatly saddened by these occurences, and so she creates a strip of sand between the bay and the Baltic sea, which would seperate her and her subjects from the dragon forever.

Its designated name day is August 20.

Lithuanian goddess of the forest and the hunt, her name deriving from either Lithuanian medis "tree; wood" or Lithuanian medė "forest".

Medeina was first recorded in the form Měiděina (Мѣидѣина) in Russian chronicles dating back to the 13th century, such as the so-called Hypatian Codex. This Codex, which described the events of 1252, mentioned the gods and goddesses worshipped by King Mindaugas, among them Medeina and an unnamed hare goddess.
Ever since, there has been a vivid discussion among scholars and academics whether Medeina and said hare goddess are two different deities or one and the same goddess, with advocators of the latter hypothesis supporting their notion with the fact that the hare is an animal sacred to Medeina.
Her function, however, seems to be largely agreed upon: she is a ruler of forests, trees and animals.

Influential research done by Algirdas Julius Greimas discovered that Medeina was thought of as a "vilkmergė", a she-wolf goddess with an escort of wolves, and a young, beautiful huntress who was unwilling to get married. Her duty was not to help the hunters, but to protect the forest and every creature living in it (which seems to be corroborated by folk tales mentioning that King Mindaugas wouldn't dare entering a forest for hunting purposes whenever he saw a hare).

Some scholars argue, however, that Medeina was, much like Žvoruna, not a goddess herself, but simply an epithet (or a "euphemism") of the actual goddess of the hunt whose name might be lost. They further conclude that Medeina seems to have been worshipped mainly by peasants.

In Lithuania, her designated name day is August 21.

However, it should be noted that Liaudė is also the name of a river in Lithuania, which is located in the county of Šiauliai. As such, it is possible that in some cases, bearers of the given name Liaudė were named directly after the river, rather than (for example) their name being a short form of their full name. With that said, the etymology of the river's name is uncertain. A common theory is that it is derived from the Lithuanian noun liaudis meaning "people, folk". Other theories propose a derivation from old Latvian ļaude meaning "people, nation" and old Estonian laud meaning "wet, moist, damp" as well as "humid".
