I found the Estonian male name Lembit. Does anyone have information about it? (Origin, etymology, history...)

Thank you.

Lembit appears to be a variant of Lembitu which means 'beloved' (past participle of lembima, 'to love'). There was a 13th-century Estonian tribal leader named Lembitu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lembitu_of_Lehola).
