Vilnius gets its name from the Vilnia River. Vilnia in Lithuanian means to ripple. Legend tells us that Duke Gediminas was hunting for wisent in the forests near Sventaragis, when he fell asleep and dreamt of a large iron wolf, howling on top of a hill. When he awoke, he asked a local pagan priest to tell him the meaning of his dream.
