What is the meaning of the name Cita ?

The baby name Cita is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SEE-tah; Spanish: /ˈsita/ (Latin America) or /ˈθita/ (Spain).

Cita is Spanish in Origin.

Rooted in the Romance diminutive tradition, Cita functions as a pet form in Spanish for names ending in -cita - most commonly Carmencita, Lucita, and Felicita (Italian/Spanish form of Latin Felicitas, “good fortune, happiness”). In this line, Cita carries connotations of joy and luck. In Indonesian and Malay, cita means “ideal, aspiration” (as in cita-cita), and the name may be used there with that uplifting sense, creating a parallel, culturally specific meaning.

Usage appears largely as a nickname across Iberia, Latin America, and the Philippines, with occasional adoption as an independent given name in the 20th century. Related and extended forms include Felicita, Felicitas, Lucita, Carmencita, and Maricita; an anglicized variant Chita sometimes occurs. Note that Sita (Sanskrit) and Zita (Italian) are separate names of different origins, though they may sound alike.
