1. The supreme sky father god in Baltic mythology would actually be Dievas.

2. The closest equivalent to that in Norse mythology would be Týr, which incidentally is the namesake of Tuesday.* I have no idea why he apparently didn't occupy a more prominent place in Norse mythology.

3. The phenomenon you are describing is a specifically Indo-European custom. The Egyptian Ra may have a good deal of similarities but is very evidently distinct from the Dyeus archetype, since Edgyptians were not Indo-Europeans (and indeed, notice the completely different name).
