Litta is in Origin.

Litta is a rare feminine name traced to several diminutive traditions. In Romance naming, it is treated as a clipped pet form built with -ita/-itta from longer forms such as Carmelita, Angelita, or Rosalita; that suffix signals smallness and affection, yielding the sense “little, beloved.” Italian ears also recognize Litta as a prominent Milanese surname, familiar from the Renaissance painting commonly called the Madonna Litta, which has lent the form cultural visibility even when not used as a given name.

Recorded as an independent given name from the late 19th century onward in Europe and North America, Litta typically appears in households as a domestic nickname for Li- names (Lina, Lise, Lisbet) or as an alternative to Lita. Related forms and variants include Lita, Carmelita, Lolita, and Alita; among short spellings, Litta and Lita are the most frequent. Usage remains uncommon, giving the name a compact, antique-chic feel.
