Comments for the name Vita

Famous bearer is Vita Sackville-West, who was a famous author, gardener and a friend of Virginia Woolf. Vita in this case is short for Victoria.

I personally don't like the name. It sounds too snotty and posh. But that's my opinion. One of Jacqueline Wilson's books, Clean Break, features a character called Vita.

Also a girls name in Slovenia.

What a strange name. It immediately brings words like 'vital' and 'vitamin' to mind, and it sounds a bit pretentious. It's not even pretty, so why would anyone use it?

Pronounced VEE-ta.

Italian for "life".

I know a Vita. It fits her perfectly because she's full of life. Her parents were inspired by a trip to Italy I believe. I don't like it particulary, but it's a nice meaning.

La dolce vita - the good life!

How could anyone not like a name that means "life?" This is definitely on my short list of girl names. As for pretentious- that's funny. It's just not popular like the Emma and Sophia and that's why none of you like it.

An awesome nickname for Victoria. Way better than Tori or Vicky.

It sounds kind of stuffy and mean, and the association with Vita Sackville-West is not a flattering one.

I wrote a song called Oh, Vita. Because it meas life. I love the names Vita and Liv for girls because of their meanings. Vita is the name I will give to a daughter if I have one. It's my favorite name ever. I just decided that today.

Vita is used in Italian as well. It's especially common in the south of Italy. [noted -ed]

Also a Swahili word meaning "wars", "battles".
