Korita is in Origin.

Korita is a rare modern given name with several plausible roots. In English use it reads as a creative blend of Kori (a short form of Corey/Korey) plus the feminine -ta, linking it etymologically to Greek Kore “maiden,” the title of Persephone. In South Slavic languages, korita is the plural of korito, meaning “troughs,” “stone basins,” or “riverbeds,” a word that appears in numerous Balkan place names; taken as a given name, it can evoke natural, river-carved imagery. The form also resembles certain Japanese surnames and toponyms; if written in kanji, its sense would depend on the characters chosen.

As a first name, Korita is scarcely attested before the late 20th century and remains uncommon, typically read as feminine in Western contexts due to the -a ending. Related or variant forms include Kori, Corey/Korey, Cora, and Korina/Korinna. Possible nicknames are Kori and Rita. Meaning varies by derivation.
