Solita
Meaning of Solita
Solita is a feminine given name of Spanish origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Soledad and literally meaning “little solitude.” The name’s root, sol, also carries an indirect link to the Latin word for “sun,” offering subtle associations of light and warmth. In the United States, Solita first appeared in Social Security data in the 1960s, saw modest growth through the 1980s—peaking at rank 775 in 1989—and then declined to rank 860 by 1992. Pronounced soh-LEE-tah (Spanish /soʊˈlita/) and soh-LEE-tuh (English /soʊˈliːtə/), the name bridges two linguistic traditions while retaining a distinctive melodic quality. Its infrequent usage today underscores a quiet elegance that may appeal to parents seeking a name with both cultural heritage and understated charm.
