Vitaliy is Slavic in Origin.
Vitaliy is the East Slavic form of Latin Vitalis, from vita 'life', hence 'full of life' or 'life-giving'. The name entered Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian through Christian tradition and Church Slavonic calendars honoring several early martyrs and saints named Vitalis, notably those venerated in Milan and Ravenna. Its Orthodox liturgical presence helped embed the name across the medieval and early modern Slavic world.
Usage rose again in the 20th century across the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and remains familiar in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and Moldova. Common transliterations and cognates include Vitaly, Vitali, and Vitalii (Ukrainian Віталій), Belarusian Vital (Віталь), Romanian/Moldovan Vitalie, Polish Witalis, and Italian Vitale; the Latin Vitalis persists in ecclesiastical contexts. Diminutives include Vitalik and Vitalya. Notable bearers range from physicist Vitaly Ginzburg to boxer-turned-statesman Vitali Klitschko, keeping the name widely recognized.
