Vandita meaning
Vandita (वंदिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Praised, extolled, celebrated
Also used to mean: worshipped
Vandita (वंदिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit vandita, "praised, extolled, celebrated", the past participle of vand, "to praise, to salute respectfully". It is the same root as Vandana, "worship, salutation", so Vandita is "one who is praised or honoured". Monier-Williams cites the word as early as the Atharvaveda. Name lists give "worshipped" or "praised", which match the dictionary.
