MEANING & HISTORY
What does Vitaliano mean?
Vitaliano is the Italian form of Vitalianus, a Roman variant of Vitalis. The adjective behind Vitalis concerns life or being vital.
The chain identifies the actual personal-name family rather than deriving the form from an unrelated word for victory; a seventh-century pope is among the older bearers of Vitalianus.
