Nitika meaning
Nitika (नीतिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, नी, it is a Vrishchik rashi name (Anuradha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
From nīti: guidance, right conduct, moral wisdom
Nitika (नीतिका) is a modern name built on Sanskrit nīti, from the verb nī, "to lead". Monier-Williams gives nīti as guidance and management, and especially right or wise conduct, prudence, policy and moral philosophy, the subject of the famous nīti verses of Bhartṛhari. The ending -kā makes a gentle feminine name from it. Name lists give Nitika as "moral" or "guidance", which fits the root. It is related to the names Neeti and Neeta, and Neetika is an alternative spelling.
