Yashita meaning
Yashita (यशिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A modern name from yaśas, 'fame, glory, honour'
Also used to mean: famous, successful
Yashita (यशिता) is a modern girls' name built on the Sanskrit word yaśas, which Monier-Williams gives as splendour, honour, glory, fame and renown. Name lists explain it as "famous", "celebrated" or "successful", in line with the root. It belongs to the same family as Yash, Yashika and Yashasvi. The form yashita itself is not found in the classical dictionaries, so it is best understood as a recent coinage.
