Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

According to the traditional Latin interpretation, the name Vito refers to life and vitality.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

V talianskej tradícii je Vito podobou latinského mena Vitus, ktoré sa tradične vykladá zo slova vita – život, teda približne živý, vitálny. Tento výklad však nemožno bezvýhradne vztiahnuť na každý výskyt mena: doložené je aj prelínanie s germánskym Wido/Wito a samostatné slovanské používanie ako skráteniny mena Vitomir.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Latinský a germánsky výklad i časť jazykových ekvivalentov uvádza Real Academia Galega – Vito. Ďalšie ekvivalenty uvádza Behind the Name – Vitus; slovanskú skráteninu dokladá heslo Vitomir. Ekvivalenty sa vzťahujú na tradíciu mena Vitus. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou slovenského vzoru chlap na mužské meno zakončené na -o. Uvedené zdrobneniny sú slovotvorne možné návrhy, nie doložený zoznam obľúbených slovenských domácich podôb. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Vyberte si meno pre svoje dieťa nebolo priamo overené; profil preto nemožno označiť za stanovisko M. Majtána ani JÚĽŠ SAV.
