What is the meaning of the name Ankithaa ?

The baby name Ankithaa is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ahn-KEE-thaa.

Ankithaa is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Ankithaa is a feminine given name from the Sanskrit aṅkitā (अङ्किता), the feminine of aṅkita, meaning “marked, inscribed, distinguished,” and by extension “cherished” or “graced.” The double -aa represents the long ā vowel common in South Indian and Tamil transliteration, so Ankithaa corresponds phonetically to Ankita/Ankitha. The related masculine form is Ankit.

In Sanskrit literature and epigraphy, aṅkita describes items that are engraved or persons “marked” by favor or identity, a poetic sense that underlies the name’s appeal. As a personal name, it rose to wide use across India in the late 20th century and remains popular among Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil speakers, as well as in the diaspora. Variants include Ankita (standard North Indian), Ankitha (South Indian), Ankeeta/Ankeetha (phonetic spellings). Short forms include Anki and Kita. The name conveys a sense of being set apart, notable, and lovingly inscribed.
