Renita

Meaning of Renita

Renita is a feminine given name of Latin origin, deriving from the French Renée—itself rooted in the Latin renatus, meaning “reborn”—with the Spanish diminutive suffix –ita appended to convey affectionate nuance. Phonologically rendered in Anglo-American English as ruh-NEE-tuh (/rəˈniːtə/), the name has maintained a discreet yet consistent profile in Georgia’s birth statistics from 1949 to 1990, registering between five and twenty-four occurrences annually and ranking predominantly within the 134th to 172nd positions. Onomastic analysis associates Renita with themes of renewal and resilience, reflecting a preference for names that meld classical etymological depth with linguistic intimacy. Although it has not achieved broad national prominence, its enduring local usage underscores its appeal as a technically refined and distinctive choice for a female appellation.
