Pevita is Indonesian in Origin.

Pevita is a modern feminine name in Indonesian usage, with its linguistic root not securely identified. The earliest clearly attested form is the Latin-script Pevita; the Devanagari पेविता is a phonetic rendering, pevitā, rather than evidence of an inherited Sanskrit word. A Sanskrit connection to pav or pū, purify, would normally yield Pavita or Pavitra, so Pevita has no firm literal meaning in that language.

In Indonesia the name is associated above all with the actress Pevita Pearce, whose public career in the 2000s and 2010s gave the spelling broader recognition. It is not documented as a traditional Islamic, Sanskritic, or Javanese calendar name, and its use appears chiefly contemporary rather than historical. Similar-looking forms include Sanskrit Pavita and Pavitra, but those are separate names unless a family intends that association.
