Harita meaning
Harita (हरिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Green, verdant; as haritā, dūrvā grass or turmeric
Harita (हरिता) comes from Sanskrit harita, which Monier-Williams gives as yellowish, pale or greenish, and especially as verdant, the fresh green of growing plants. The feminine noun haritā is recorded as dūrvā grass, the sacred grass offered to Gaṇeśa, and also as turmeric. Name lists give Harita as "green", which matches the dictionary. The spelling Haritha is used in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
