Rita

from Lithuania

Rita is short form of MARGHERITA and other names ending in rita.

MARGHERITA - Italian form of MARGARET. This is also the Italian word for "daisy flower" (species Leucanthemum vulgare).

MARGARET - derived from Latin Margarita, which was from Greek μαργαριτης (margarites) meaning "pearl", probably ultimately a borrowing from Sanskrit मञ्यरी (manyari).

In Lithuania the ancient people believed that a name given to an infant could determine his fate. The meaning of the name given to the new member of society by the parents expressed their hopes and wishes. The name corresponded to the person, and human essence was expressed in it. Only in the thinking of modern man has the name become separated from the person...
