What is the meaning of the name Ganitta ?

The baby name Ganitta is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced guh-NI-tuh (IPA: /ɡəˈnɪtə/).

Ganitta is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Ganitta likely draws from Sanskrit gaṇita (गणित), meaning “reckoned, calculated” and by extension “mathematics,” a root that underlies arithmetic terminology across many Indic languages. As a given name, it conveys associations of intelligence, order, and skill with numbers. In Southeast Asian naming, it can also echo Pali/Sanskrit kaniṣṭha “youngest,” which enters Thai and Khmer as Kanittha/Kanitha; the spelling Ganitta appears as a modern variant reflecting flexible romanization.

Attested in South Asia as a personal name inspired by the Gaṇita sections of texts by Āryabhaṭa and Bhāskara, it skews masculine but is now unisex. In Thailand and Cambodia, related forms like Kanittha are longstanding feminine names marking the youngest daughter; Ganitta surfaces in modern romanizations. Variants include Ganita, Ganitha, Ganit; and Kanitha/Kanittha. Nicknames: Gani, Nita. Meanings span calculation, learned or skillful, and the youngest (child).
