Ruchita meaning
Ruchita (रुचिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Bright, brilliant, glittering; pleasant, agreeable
Also used to mean: beautiful, charming
Ruchita (रुचिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit rucita. Monier-Williams defines rucita as shone upon, bright, brilliant and glittering, and also as pleasant, agreeable, sweet and dainty. It belongs to the same family as ruci, "light, lustre, liking", and rucira, "radiant". Name lists give Ruchita as "bright", "beautiful" or "charming", which agrees well with the dictionary. The name is used in Maharashtra and Gujarat, and Ruchitha is the South Indian spelling.
