Lithuanian term or phrase: lietuvininkai
Lietuvininkai – savita etninė grupė, susiformavusi XVI a. ir gyvenusi Rytprūsių provincijos šiaurės rytinėje dalyje – Įsručio, Labguvos, Ragainės, Tilžės, Tepliavos, Klaipėdos apskrityse. Jų gyvenama teritorija buvo vadinama Lietuvos provincija, Lietuva, Prūsų Lietuva, nuo XIX–XX a. sandūros paplito Mažosios Lietuvos pavadinimas. Dar vadinami Prūsų lietuviais, mažlietuviais.

Žodžiai lietuvninkas ir lietuvis ilgą laiką buvo sinonimai. Lietuvninkai (Литовники) minimi jau Pskovo antrojo metraščio 1341 m. įraše (а сам Олгерд подим брата своего Кестоутия и мужь своих Литовников). Pskovo trečiajame metraštyje, ryšium su 1262 m. įvykiais, lietuvninkas (Литовник) minimas vietoj atitinkamoje Pskovo antrojo metraščio vietoje minėto žodžio litvinas (литвин).
