Harshita meaning
Harshita (हर्षिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Delighted, gladdened, pleased, happy
Harshita (हर्षिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit harṣita, from the root hṛṣ. Monier-Williams records two strands of meaning for harṣita: delighted, gladdened, pleased, charmed or happy, and, said of the hair, made to bristle or stand on end; as a neuter noun it means joy or delight. The name, of course, carries the first sense. The related noun harṣa, joy, is the source of the boys' name Harsh and of the name of the seventh-century emperor Harsha. Name lists give "happy" or "joyful", matching the dictionary, and Harshitha is a South Indian spelling.
