Etymology
The origin of the town's name is unclear. Local legend claims the name comes from a cruel nobleman who, while beating a serf, repeatedly shouted "Duok kiškį!" ("Give the rabbit!") after the serf hunted one. The serf died, and the place was later named Duokiškis.[2] In other languages the town's name is translated as: Polish: Dokiszki.
