Vito

Vito is an Italian name that is derived from the Latin word "vita", meaning " life",. It is a modern form of the Latin name "Vitus", meaning "life-giver," as in Saint Vitus, the patron saint of dogs and a heroic figure in southern Italian folklore. The Name "Vito" is unrelated to, yet still often confused with, the German name " Wido," which is derived from Ancient Germanic, and the Slavic name " Vitomir" which is sometimes shortened to "Vito" but has a completely different root in the Proto-Slavic word "vit" meaning "ruler".
