Anita

Anita is a feminine name derived from the Spanish and Italian form of the name Anna, which ultimately traces its roots back to the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.'

In the Bible, Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel, known for her devotion and fervent prayer to God for a child. Her story is often associated with concepts of faith, patience, and answered prayers.

While Anita is primarily used as a given name, it can also be a diminutive or pet form of other names like Anita, Annetta, or Annunziata.

The name Anita has been popular across various cultures and languages, particularly in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese-speaking regions. It is often perceived as a gentle, feminine, and graceful name.
