Ihita meaning
Ihita (ईहिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ई, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Wished for, desired, striven for; as a noun, a wish or effort
Ihita (ईहिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit īhita, the past participle of īh, "to strive for, to wish". Monier-Williams gives it as sought, attempted or striven for, and as wished for or desired; as a noun it means a desire, a request or an effort. The related noun īhā means both effort and wish. Name lists give Ihita as "desire" or "desired", which matches the dictionary; some also link it to Durga, a sense we could not trace. The name is used in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
