Jeevitha meaning
Jeevitha (जीविता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (South Indian usage). By its first sound, जी, it is a Makar rashi name (Uttara Ashadha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Living, alive; life
Jeevitha (जीविता) comes from Sanskrit jīvita, from the verb jīv, "to live". Monier-Williams gives jīvita as living, alive or restored to life, and as a noun, life itself, a lifetime and a means of living. The same root gives Jeevan, Jeeva and Jeevika. Name lists give it as "life" or "living", matching the dictionary. The name is used mostly in South India, where the -tha spelling reflects how Telugu, Tamil and Kannada speakers write the soft t sound.
