Witalia
Fewer than thirty women in Poland carry it, so most Poles will never meet a Witalia. From Latin, the name means "of life, full of life," and no newborn has been given it in years.
Witalia Pronunciation
Witalia is pronounced vee-TAHL-yah (/viˈtalja/).
What Witalia means
Where Witalia comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Witalia comes from the Latin vitalis, an adjective built from vita, meaning "life". The same root feeds English "vital" and "vitality". Here the modern gloss and the old word point the same way. The short meaning holds close to the source: of life, full of life. Polish keeps that reach with życiowa, zdolna do życia.
The name travels with masculine relatives. Witali and Witalis both descend from vitalis, and Witalis is the Polish form worn by an early Christian martyr, Vitalis of Milan. Legend ties him to Ravenna and gives him a wife, Valeria. His feast falls on 28 April, which sets the imieniny for a man who carries that form.
On a Polish school register, Witalia is a rare entry. The name says what the Latin says: alive, of life.

Witalia appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 14 October.
