Rimkai

Rimkai is a Lithuanian toponym, most commonly referring to a place name. It frequently denotes villages or neighborhoods, and occasionally larger areas within Lithuania. The name is derived from the personal name "Rimkus" or "Rimkė," common Lithuanian surnames. The suffix "-ai" is a pluralizing suffix commonly used in Lithuanian place names, indicating a connection to the family or descendants of an individual bearing the name. Thus, Rimkai signifies a place associated with the Rimkus or Rimkė family.

While specific locations named Rimkai exist, there is no single, nationally significant entity called "Rimkai" that would warrant detailed encyclopedic treatment on its own. The term is primarily relevant in its generic sense as a toponymic element and in relation to the specific settlements that bear the name. Information about any particular Rimkai would require researching that specific location.
