It's neither Russian nor German. Baltic is a linguistic category on its own. Specifically Lithuanian in my case. Latvian is related. There were also Baltic language speakers in Prussia before it became majority German speaking.
"Surname from the Baltic States" implies linguistic precision and specificity that "surname from the United States" does not convey and is in no means equivalent to. There is some vagueness in what I said but I left it there intentionally, people don't get crazy specific about personal details here usually. I was meaning to say I have a "foreign" surname.
