Moumita meaning
Moumita (मौमिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Bengali origin.
Sweet friend (Bengali mau, honey + mitā, friend)
Moumita (মৌমিতা) is a purely Bengali name built from two everyday words. Mau, often spelled mou, means honey, and appears in words such as maumāchi, the honeybee, and maucāk, the honeycomb. Mitā means a friend or companion, and is related to Sanskrit mitra. Put together, the name means something like "sweet friend" or "honey-sweet companion". It is a distinctly Bengali girls' name, heard mainly in West Bengal, Tripura, Bangladesh and the Bengali diaspora.
