Linguistic explanation and meaning

The German form of the name Vitus, traditionally associated with life and vitality.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Veit je nemecká podoba neskorolatinského mena Vitus, rozšírená najmä vďaka úcte k svätému Vítovi. Samotný pôvod mena Vitus nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Tradične sa spája s latinským substantívom »vita« (život), uvádza sa však aj pôvod v starohornonemeckom slove »witu« (drevo, les) či súvislosť s označením človeka pochádzajúceho z Bitýnie.
