Renitta is Latin in Origin.
Renitta is a modern feminine given name formed as an embellished variant of Renita and Renée, all tracing back to Latin Renatus, meaning reborn or born again. Its -itta ending reflects Romance diminutive patterns (-ita, -etta), giving the name an Italianate look and aligning it with cognates such as Renetta. Through this lineage, Renitta carries the sense of spiritual renewal and fresh beginnings.
The name saw sporadic use from the mid-20th century, chiefly in the United States, where creative -ita and -etta forms flourished, and it also appears in Caribbean and other Anglophone communities. While uncommon, it sits comfortably alongside international relatives Renata (Italian, Polish, Portuguese), Renate (German, Dutch), and Renée (French) and Renee (English). Variants and short forms include Renita, Renetta, Reni, Rena, and Nita; related masculine counterparts are René and Renato. Parents drawn to Renitta often value its familiar roots, gentle rhythm, and uplifting meaning of rebirth.
