Ivanita is in Origin.

Ivanita is a feminine diminutive built with the Spanish affectionate suffix -ita on Ivana (the feminine of Ivan) or, by extension, Iván. Ivan stems from the Slavic form of John, ultimately tracing back to Hebrew Yōḥānān via Greek Iōánnēs and Latin Iohannes. The name therefore carries the time-honored meaning “God is gracious,” with the -ita ending adding a tender, endearing nuance - roughly “little Ivana” or “dear Ivana.”

Although not traditional in Slavic naming, Ivanita appears sporadically in Spanish-speaking communities and in places influenced by Spanish naming style (such as parts of Latin America and the Philippines), particularly from the mid-20th century onward. Close variants and related forms include Ivana, Ivanna (double-n spelling), Ivanka, and the South Slavic diminutive Ivanica; a rarer transliteration is Iwanita. Nicknames include Iva, Nita, Ita, and Vani. Broader cognates across the John family include Juana/Juanita, Ioana, Joanna, and Giovanna.
