Vitaly

The etymology of the name 'Italy' has been (according to this impeccable scholarly source) widely debated.

According to one of the more common explanations, the term Italia, from Latin: Italia, was borrowed through Greek from the Oscan Víteliú, meaning "land of young cattle" (cf. Lat vitulus "calf", Umb vitlo "calf"). The bull was a symbol of the southern Italic tribes and was often depicted goring the Roman wolf as a defiant symbol of free Italy during the Social War.

A shame the initial 'v' dropped off, if so. I liked the idea of a country called Vitaly. Indeed, there's a Fantasy novel to be written based in such a kingdom, I think.
