What is the meaning of the name Gita ?

The baby name Gita is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GEE-tah (IPA: /ˈgiːtə/).

Gita is Sanskrit in Origin.

Gita is a feminine given name most widely used in South Asia. In Sanskrit, Gītā (गीता) means “song” or “sacred hymn,” from the root gā/gai “to sing.” Its cultural weight comes from the Bhagavad Gita (“Song of the Lord”), giving the name devotional and literary resonance. The name spread throughout India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka and gained modern prominence in the 20th century; it is borne by artists, scholars, and public figures, so it reads as both traditional and contemporary.

Common variants and transliterations include Geeta, Geetha, Githa, and Gītā (with macron). Beyond South Asia, Gita also occurs in Ashkenazi Jewish naming as Gita/Gitte/Gitty, related to Yiddish Gittel “good” (ultimately from German gut), and in parts of Central and Eastern Europe as a short form of Brigita/Brigitte or Margarita. Nicknames include Gitu and Geetu. Meaning depends on origin: “song” in Sanskrit contexts; “good” in Yiddish.
