Ramita meaning
Ramita (रमिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Gladdened, delighted, made happy
Also used to mean: joyful, pleasing
Ramita (रमिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit ramita, formed from the causative of the root ram, "to delight". Monier-Williams defines it as gladdened, delighted or rendered happy, citing the Gitagovinda, and records a neuter noun ramita meaning pleasure or delight. Name lists give Ramita as "joyful", "delighted" or "pleasing", which matches the dictionary. The masculine Ramit is used for boys, and the root ram also gives Ramya, Rama and Ramani.
