Rita

Origen y significado de Rita

Rita began as a short form of Margherita, from the Greek margarítēs, 'pearl,' but gained full independence thanks to Saint Rita of Cascia, one of Italy's most loved and venerated saints. The name evokes preciousness and quiet strength. It is common throughout Italy and, in identical or similar forms, in Spain, Portugal and the English-speaking world. Short, warm and popular, it keeps a timeless, deeply familiar charm.
