Yoshita meaning
Yoshita (योषिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, यो, it is a Dhanu rashi name (Mula nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A woman, a wife
Also used to mean: young woman
Yoshita (योषिता) is the Sanskrit word yoṣitā, "a woman, a wife", which Monier-Williams cites from the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad. It belongs to a small family of old words for a girl or young woman, including yoṣā and yoṣit. Name lists give Yoshita as "young woman" or "woman", close to the dictionary sense. The name is used in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, where it is also spelled Yoshitha. It has no link to the similar-sounding Japanese name.
