Renitha is Indian, Latin in Origin.

Renitha is a modern feminine given name, generally understood as a variant or elaboration of Renita/Renée, ultimately from the Latin Renatus meaning “reborn” or “born again.” The insertion of -th- follows a productive feminine pattern seen in names ending with -itha (compare Lalitha, Sunitha, Tabitha), which helps explain its visibility in South Asian and African English contexts alongside Western usage. In French the root appears as Renée, and in Italian and Spanish as Renata, all carrying the same baptismal sense of spiritual renewal.

Recorded use of Renitha is uncommon before the mid-20th century and remains rare; it appears in anglophone records and in India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa as a distinctive alternative to Renita. Variant forms and cognates include Renita, Renetha, Renetta, Renata, Renée, and Renee; short forms include Reni, Rena, and Nita. Across the family of related names, the prevailing meaning is “reborn.”
