About the name Vita

Wiktionary records the name in Danish as derived from Latin vita, 'life', and in Dutch, Lithuanian and Latvian as a feminine of Vitus. The origin of Vitus is debated: Wiktionary allows that it may come directly from vita, from vitus, 'lively', or from a Thracian word, and so the sense of Vita is uncertain.
