"Vectis" meaning in Latin

See Vectis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈu̯ek.tis/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈu̯ɛkt̪ɪs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈvek.tis/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈvɛkt̪is] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Possibly of Celtic origin, borrowed from Proto-Celtic *Ixtis (literally “nether”) (compare Irish ìosal (“low”), Welsh isel). However, there are other theories, such as a relation to Proto-Germanic *wihtiz (“creature, thing”), Proto-Celtic *wextā (“course, turn, time”), or simply from or influenced by Latin vectis (“lever, gate, separator”).
