Meaning and background

The story behind Vita

Vita has two documented personal-name routes in Behind the Name. One is the feminine form of Vitus, whose linked Latin account derives it from life vocabulary. The other is a Ukrainian or Belarusian shortening of Viktoriya. The life meaning therefore belongs to the Vitus route, while the short-form account has a different immediate source. An owner can preserve the intended full name or language when choosing Vita for a dog.

Origin
Feminine of Latin Vitus, from life vocabulary; separately a Ukrainian/Belarusian short form of Viktoriya. Source · Source 2 · Source 3
