As per our Vedic literature, Vish (Vishnu) means creator and Shiv (Shiva) means evil destroyer. I was wondering similar word-meaning similarity between Sati and Sita. Is there any historical evidence for their names as like in Vish & Shiv?
Thanks

There are no concepts like you are saying.
The dhatu 'Vish' means Pervading.
The dhatu 'Shiv' means Auspicious.
In what sense are you seeing evil destruction in Auspicious?
Hence, they are not opposite by no ways.
The name 'Sita' means furrow as she was born while Janaka was ploughing.
The name 'Sati' from dhatu 'Sat' which have several meanings like truth, existence. Also Sati means extremely chaste women.
