Rajita meaning
Rajita (राजिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, रा, it is a Tula rashi name (Chitra nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Illuminated, resplendent, brilliant; adorned
Also used to mean: decorated
Rajita (राजिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit rājita, from the root rāj, which means both "to shine" and "to reign". Monier-Williams defines rājita as illuminated, resplendent and brilliant, and as adorned or embellished with something, citing the Mahabharata and classical poetry. Name lists give Rajita as "illuminated", "brilliant" or "decorated", which matches the dictionary. The masculine Rajit is used for boys, and Rajitha is the usual South Indian spelling.
