Pujitha (पूजिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit pūjita, from the verb pūj, "to honour, worship", the same root as pūjā. Monier-Williams gives it as honoured, received with respect, worshipped and adored, and also as acknowledged or recommended. Name lists explain Pujitha as "worshipped" or "revered", matching the dictionary. It is a modern girls' name used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, also spelled Poojitha.
