It is a family surname from Lithuania. Balt="white" or "shining" + run = "house" + as (PIE az) = "of". Balt has a relationship to the Baltic Sea and also Baldur, the son of Wotan. Run also has relationships to the word "whisper" or "secret" and in the germanic rune. As is a name ending meaning "of". Fore example, the PIE word for Wotan (Odin) was Wodanaz.
