Commentary

Masculine personal name in the nominative. The base may be u̯ītu- 'willow', cf. uitula (Belgica, s. Delamarre 2007: 203), but the vowel in the suffix would be expected to be u rather than i (even if this is not always regular, see the morpheme page); an alternative is u̯id- 'knowing' uel sim. Cf. Lejeune 1971: 65 f., n. 232.

Probably also attested (though possibly with another stem) is the genitive uitili.
