In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Nitara (नितारा) is a modern Indian girls' name. Name lists give its meaning as "deeply rooted" or "having strong roots". We could not find nitārā in the Sanskrit dictionaries; the closest word, the adverb nitarām, means "wholly" or "especially", which does not explain the popular sense. So "deeply rooted" appears to be a meaning that has grown up with the name rather than the sense of an older word. Families like it for its soft sound and its likeness to tārā, "star".
