Wanita
Meaning of Wanita
Wanita is a spirited twist on the classic Spanish Juanita—“little Juana,” and, by extension, “God is gracious”—yet her W gives her extra wanderlust, echoing the Malay-Indonesian word for “woman” and the lilting notes of Al Jolson’s 1923 hit song “Wanita.” She burst onto U.S. charts in the roaring ’20s, salsa-stepped through mid-century, and now appears in tiny, shining handfuls each year, chosen by parents who love her vintage glow and global heartbeat. The name feels like warm sun on adobe walls, a quick guitar strum, and a promise that this daughter will grow up bold, gracious, and undeniably herself.
