Žygimantas is a Lithuanian masculine given name. It is a two-stem name of Baltic origin consisting of the root žyg and man(t)-.[1] The Lithuanian word žygis means a military march from one location to another, while the second part might stem from the word manta, meaning wealth, benefit or mantus, which means convenient, suitable.[1] Thus, the meaning behind Žygimantas could be a man adapted to military marches or someone with a wealth of military campaigns.
