Reeta Origin and Meaning

The name Reeta is a girl's name.

Reeta is a feminine name that functions as a variant spelling of Rita, which originated as a shortened form of Margherita, the Italian version of Margaret (meaning 'pearl'). This alternative spelling adds a slightly exotic touch to the classic name. Reeta has particular popularity in India, where it may be derived from Sanskrit elements meaning 'truthful' or 'river.' The name enjoyed modest popularity in Western countries during the mid-20th century but remains uncommon today. Reeta has a pleasant, melodic quality with its long 'e' sound and simple two-syllable structure, making it easy to pronounce across cultures while maintaining its distinct character.
