Amita meaning
Amita (अमिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Unmeasured, boundless, infinite
Amita (अमिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit amita, which Monier-Williams defines as unmeasured, boundless and infinite. It joins a-, "not", to mita, "measured", from the root mā, "to measure". The same word is the first part of Amitābha, "of boundless light", the name of a Buddha. Name lists give "boundless" or "infinite", matching the dictionary. Amita is the girls' counterpart of the boys' name Amit and is used across India.
