Vitas is of Latin origin, meaning 'life'. It is a unisex given name, although it's more commonly used for males. The name gained prominence through the Roman poet Virgil's epic work, the Aeneid, where Vita was one of the characters. Vitas has also been associated with the concept of life and vitality in various cultures throughout history.
"Vitas saw consistent popularity with five births each in 1954 and 1959, followed by another five births in 1981, resulting in a total of fifteen children named Vitas."
