Getha is a rare feminine name with two credible roots. In the Anglo-Scandinavian sphere, it is a modernized spelling of Gytha/Githa, ultimately from Old English gūð “battle, war.” The name appears in 11th-century records borne by noblewomen such as Gytha Thorkelsdóttir (mother of King Harold II) and Gytha of Wessex, giving it a firmly medieval English and Danish pedigree.

In South Asian contexts, Getha can be interpreted as a streamlined variant of Geetha/Geeta, from Sanskrit Gītā “song, sacred hymn,” best known through the Bhagavad Gita.
