Litvin

Litvin[a] is a Slavic word for all residents of Lithuania (Slavic: Litva), which was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 13th–18th centuries, and began to be used no later than the 16th century mostly by the East Slavs. Currently, Litvin or its cognates are used in many European languages for Lithuanians.[b]
