Rishitha is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rishitha is a modern Indian feminine name with Sanskritic roots. Most sources derive it from rishi (Sanskrit ṛṣi, ‘seer, sage’) plus a feminine adjectival ending, giving senses such as ‘sage-like,’ ‘saintly,’ or ‘wise.’ In contemporary name glossaries it is also interpreted as ‘excellent’ or ‘the best,’ and sometimes as ‘prosperous,’ readings that echo broader Sanskrit ideals rather than a single strict etymology. In Devanagari it is written as ऋषिता; pronunciation is typically RISH-i-tha, with an aspirated t (tʰ).

The name rose to wider use in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially among Telugu- and Kannada-speaking communities, and within the Indian diaspora, where it combines a traditional base with a modern sound. Variants and spellings include Rishita, Reeshitha, and Reeshita; related masculine forms are Rishit and Rishi. Diminutives such as Rishu or Rishi occur in informal use, and the Vedic association with revered rishis lends the name resonance.
