Nenita Mari is Spanish in Origin.

Nenita Mari pairs a Spanish-Filipino term of endearment with a widespread Marian short form. Nenita comes from Spanish nena/niña, “little girl,” with the affectionate diminutive -ita, and developed into an independent given name across Latin America and especially the Philippines under Hispanic influence in the 20th century. Mari functions as a familiar form of María/Maria in Spanish and many European languages; it is also common as a stand-alone given name in Basque and in Finland/Estonia, all connected (in this context) to the Christian name Mary.

Meaning blends “dear little girl” (Nenita) with the devotional heritage of Mary/Maria, whose Hebrew root Miryam is variously interpreted as “beloved,” “wished-for child,” or “drop of the sea.” Variants and related forms include Nena and Nenita (as independent firsts); and for the second element, María, Maria, Marie, Mary, Mari, Marija, Marit, Marita, and Mariel. Together, Nenita Mari suggests tender affection grounded in Marian tradition.
