Ruta Sepetys: Hello. My name is Ruta Sepetys, and that's a Lithuanian name. In Lithuanian, it would be pronounced ROO-tuh sheh-peh-TIS.
Ruta is the name of a flower, and Sepetys means "brush" in Lithuanian. So my name is flower brush. I even have a difficult time pronouncing my own name. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's true. An easy way to remember how to pronounce my last name is that it rhymes with spaghettis. So if you think Ruta Spaghettis, you can pronounce Ruta Sepetys.
