Raimis

Raimis is a masculine given name used in the Baltic region, particularly in Lithuania and Latvia. It is commonly regarded as a Baltic variant of the given name Raymond or Raimund, which have Germanic origins. The Baltic form Raimis is often presented in onomastic sources as part of the broader family of Raymond-derived names, though exact etymological notes may vary by language.

In usage, Raimis occurs mainly among Lithuanian or Latvian speakers and within diaspora communities that maintain Baltic naming traditions. It is relatively uncommon outside the Baltic area and has been used by several generations, especially in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Linguistically, Raimis aligns with other names ending in -is, a common masculine ending in Baltic languages. Its close cognates in the region include Raimundas in Lithuanian and other language variants of Raymond/Raimund in Europe. The form Raimis is thus part of a larger multinational name group rather than an isolated Baltic invention.

As of current reference works, there are no widely documented notable individuals whose given name is Raimis.

Related forms include Raimundas, Raimond, and Raymond.
