Sita

The name Sita is primarily considered to be a girl's name. The meaning of Sita is 'furrow' or 'goddess of land' in the Sanskrit language. This was because, in the Hindu epic 'Ramayana', a character called Sita, the daughter of King Janaka, found Sita in a furrow while plowing. Sita is derived from the goddess of the harvest and the wife of King Ram. This name is well-appreciated and recognized worldwide for her dedication, courage, and, most importantly, purity. She was one of the pillars of strength in the book of Ramayana. Sita sets a legendary example for her complete devotion to her duties as a mother, wife, and daughter. It is also a very integral part of Hindu mythology. Moreover, it also has a Spanish version which is an alternate meaning derived from the Zuni Indian word Zita which has the meaning 'rose'. The name was considered to be very popular before. However, its usage has gradually reduced in the past four decades. Famous people named Sita include Indian film editor Sita Menon and Cantopop singer-actress Sita Chan from Hong Kong.
