The aim of this paper is to survey the stock of Lithuanian words of Hungarian origin. These lexemes made their way into Lithuanian mainly via Polish, or less often via German, Belorussian, or Russian, in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Hungarian borrowings constitute well-defined thematic groups in Lithuanian. For instance, military terms related to the export of Hungarian military technology form a clear subset, as do words denoting agricultural products or manufactured goods transported from Hungarian territories to Poland or the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Of these lexemes, merely a small number have become part of the present-day literary word stock of Lithuanian, most of them are historical relics or dialectal items. Furthermore, a marked change of their meaning in Lithanian can also be observed in many cases.
