Hasita meaning
Hasita (हसिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Laughing, smiling; as a noun, laughter
Also used to mean: joyful
Hasita (हसिता) comes from Sanskrit hasita, the past participle of has, "to laugh". Monier-Williams gives it as laughing, joking or smiling, and as a noun, laughter itself; one lexicon also names the bow of Kāma, the god of love, hasita. It belongs to the same family as the name Hasini, "smiling". Name lists give Hasita as "smiling" or "joyful", which matches the dictionary. The spelling Hasitha is usual in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka.
