What is the meaning of the name Charita ?

The baby name Charita is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /tʃəˈriːtə/ (chuh-REE-tah).

Charita is Sanskrit in Origin.

Charita blends two venerable strands. In the South Asian sphere it reflects Sanskrit carita “deed, conduct; life story,” familiar from titles like Buddhacarita (Life of the Buddha) and interpreted in modern usage as “good character” or “one of noble deeds.” Independently, a Greek line comes from charis “grace, kindness,” the root behind medieval and Orthodox names such as Charitina; Latin caritas “charity, love” produced related virtue names that sometimes overlap with Charita.

As a given name, Charita appears in modern India and the diaspora, and sporadically in English-speaking contexts as a variant of Charity or the Scandinavian Carita (common in Finland and Sweden). Documented variants and cognates include Charitha, Charitā, Charitra (related form), Charis, Charitina/Haritina, Carita, Caritas, and Charity. Meanings cluster around grace, loving-kindness, and exemplary conduct or life story.
