What does Vito mean?
2 syllables

Vito is an Italian given name tied to the Roman name Vitus, traditionally said to derive from the Latin vita, meaning 'life,' though scholars note the ultimate origin isn't fully certain. It has long been popular in Italy and among Italian-American communities, and gained extra cultural weight through characters like Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

Vito has a warm, old-world charm -- a name that feels loyal, dignified, and a touch old-fashioned in the best way. It suits a pet with quiet confidence and a strong sense of presence.
