Harshithaa is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Harshithaa is a feminine Indian name from Sanskrit Harṣitā (हर्षिता), the past participle of harṣ- “to rejoice,” built on the noun harṣa “joy, delight.” It means “one who is gladdened,” “joyful,” or “bringer of happiness.” The spelling with double a marks the long final ā common in South Indian transliterations, and the th reflects the dental t of -tā; typical pronunciation is har-shi-THAA. The name appears across Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi communities.

In usage, harṣita appears throughout Sanskrit poetry as an epithet for delighted heroines and deities, and the renown of the 7th‑century emperor Harsha kept the root familiar, helping the participial form become a modern given name. Popularity rose in late‑20th‑century India and the diaspora. Variants include Harshita, Harshitha (southern spelling), and lengthened -aa forms such as Harshitaa and Harshithaa; related names are Harsha (unisex/masculine), Harshit (masculine), and Harshika (feminine). The name carries auspicious connotations.
