Gitta is German, Scandinavian in Origin.
Gitta is a feminine given name prevalent in Germanic and Central European languages, chiefly a diminutive or short form of Brigitta/Birgitta, the local equivalents of Bridget. The root traces to Old Irish Bríg (Brigid), linked to the Celtic goddess and a 5th-century saint; its meaning is rendered as exalted, lofty, or strength. The cults of Saint Brigid of Kildare and Saint Birgitta of Sweden spread the name family across Europe.
As a standalone given name, Gitta appears from the 19th century in Hungary, Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia, remaining familiar through the 20th century. Variants and cognates include Brigitta, Birgitta (Swedish), Brigitte (French/German), Birgit/Birgitte, and Britta; related diminutives are Gitte (Danish) and Gitti (German/Austrian). Notable bearers include soprano Gitta Alpar and journalist-author Gitta Sereny. Sometimes confused with Sanskrit Gita, it is etymologically distinct.
