Itta is Germanic in Origin.

Itta is a medieval Germanic feminine name, recorded in Frankish and Latin sources as Itte or Itta. Most scholars connect it to the Germanic root id “work, activity,” the same element behind Ida, giving the sense of “industrious” or “active.” In Merovingian Gaul it appears as the byname of Itta (also Ida, Iduberga) of Nivelles (7th century), wife of Pepin of Landen and mother of St. Gertrude; her renown helped preserve the form in the Low Countries and northeastern France.

Usage has been sporadic since the Middle Ages, with occasional modern revivals in Belgium, the Netherlands, and German-speaking areas, often as an archaic or boutique choice. Variant forms and related names include Ida, Ita (Irish Íde), Itte, Ite, Ide, and Iduberga; diminutives in Dutch and German sometimes add -ke/-chen (e.g., Itteke), while cognates appear across Scandinavia through Ida.
