Mahitha meaning
Mahitha (महिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage).
Honoured, celebrated; name of a river
Also used to mean: greatness
Mahitha (महिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit mahita, "honoured, celebrated", from the root mah, "to honour, to magnify". Monier-Williams gives mahita as honoured and celebrated, and also as proper or right; the feminine Mahitā is the name of a river mentioned in the Mahabharata. Baby-name lists explain Mahitha as "honoured" or "greatness", in line with the dictionary. The spelling with th follows Telugu and Kannada pronunciation, and the name is used mostly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where boys are called Mahit.
