Lakshita meaning
Lakshita (लक्षिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Marked, distinguished; recognised; seen; excellent
Also used to mean: regarded
Lakshita (लक्षिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit lakṣita, from the verb lakṣ, "to mark, to notice". Monier-Williams lists marked, distinguished and characterised by, then recognised, seen and evident, considered or regarded as, and, in the Jātakamālā, excellent. Name lists today give it as distinguished or regarded, which follows the dictionary closely. It belongs to the same family of words as lakṣaṇa, a mark or sign, and lakṣya, an aim or target, so it sits naturally beside names such as Lakshya and Lakshana. Lakshitha is the usual South Indian spelling.
