Vinita meaning
Vinita (विनीता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Well-trained, well-behaved, modest, humble; lovely
Also used to mean: well-mannered
Vinita (विनीता) is the feminine of Sanskrit vinīta, "led, trained", from vi-nī. Monier-Williams gives the senses trained or educated, well-behaved, humble and modest, and also versed in an art, and lovely. The word shares its root with vinaya, "good conduct", and with the boys' name Vineet. Name lists explain Vinita as "modest" or "humble", which matches the dictionary. The name is often spelled Vineeta in north India and Vinitha in the south.
