Random quote: "Kaip ir Gyvenimo logikos partiją, Reformų partiją galima laikyti "vilnietiškomis" marginalijomis, kurie nuo "kaunietiškų", dažniausiai propaguojančių nacionalizmą, skiriasi potraukiu tiesiog nusišnekėti." Vitalijus Kanapeckas, "OMNI laikas" (2002)

Naujocks, Naujoks, Naujock, Naujok, Naujokat is not a Lithuanian name. Anymore. Almost for 100 years. Lithuanian is Naujokas. 
 



OK. This is how they call these names today:

"Familiennamen preußisch-litauischer Provenienz in der Bundesrepublik".

If the definition of a Lithuanian name is "functioning grammatically in a Lithuanian language context" then Naujocks and Naujoks still are Lithuanian, Naujok, Naujock and Naujokat are not (an -s is missing).

Are BARANAUSKAS and ZINKEVICIUS Lithuanian names? They are because they can be declined, but at a price: they look disfigured and are not genuinely Lithuanian: BARANOWSKI - BARANAUSKAS.
