Linas is a common given name among people of Lithuanian descent. Lithuanian children are traditionally given one pagan name and one Christian name; thus Linas is the given pagan name, in honor of Linai, the name of the flax or linseed plant, from which linen is spun. Traditional Lithuanian folk clothing is made primarily of woven linen cloth. The Proto-Indo-European root lin- also appears in the words linseed oil and linoleum.
