krutoniksi

Krutoniksi is a surname of Lithuanian origin. The name is believed to derive from the Lithuanian word "krutas," which means "round" or "bent." It is possible that the name originally referred to a person with a round face or a stooped posture. The surname is relatively uncommon in Lithuania but can be found in scattered communities.

Over time, families bearing the krutoniksi surname have emigrated from Lithuania to various countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. As with many surnames, variations in spelling may have occurred during the immigration process due to linguistic differences and transcription errors. Therefore, individuals with a similar ancestral background might find slight differences in their recorded surname. The distribution of krutoniksi families outside of Lithuania is generally small and concentrated in areas with historical Lithuanian settlement. Further genealogical research would be required to trace specific family lines and their migratory patterns.
