Sharita
Meaning of Sharita
Sharita, pronounced shuh-REE-tuh (/ʃəˈriːtə/), is a feminine given name etymologically anchored in the Hebrew Sarah (“princess”) via the Spanish diminutive Sarita and subsequently adapted within English-speaking contexts through the addition of the suffix -ta. Its phonetic profile—characterized by an initial sibilant, a trochaic stress pattern, and a final open vowel—imbues the name with a poised clarity. Though never achieving widespread popularity, Sharita maintained a modest yet consistent presence among Illinois newborns from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s, with annual occurrences ranging from five to nineteen and rankings persistently in the lower two-hundreds. In scholarly terms, the name conveys an intersection of classical nobility and contemporary distinctiveness, appealing to those who seek a designation that is at once rooted in tradition and suffused with modern sensibility.
