The IOW was called VECTIS by the Romans....
The Romans actually named it 'Vectis', and then later, the island was inhabited by a Germanis tribe called The Jutes; early anglo-Saxon invaders, whose corruption of the word 'Vectis', became 'Wiht', the latin pronunciation of 'v' sounding more like 'w', which is the root to the islands present day name of 'Wight'
