Meaning and history
Sarita has distinct Spanish and Indian uses. In Spanish, it is an affectionate diminutive of Sara, from Hebrew Sarah, meaning “princess” or “noblewoman.” In India, Sarita is a feminine name from Sanskrit saritā, meaning “river” or “stream.” These origins are unrelated and should remain separate. Notable bearers include Indian actor Sarita Choudhury and Finnish actor Sarita Harma, while Spanish-language bearers may use it informally for Sara.
