We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Nikita (निकिता) is an Indian girls' name, but it is not a Sanskrit word. Nikita is a Russian man's name that goes back to the Greek Nikētas, "victor". In India it became a girls' name, and baby-name lists usually give its meaning as "earth". We could not find nikitā in the Sanskrit dictionaries, and the similar word niketa means "house" or "dwelling", so "earth" appears to be a meaning that has grown up around the name in India rather than the sense of an older word.
