Meaning: Woman; Served; Vanity

Vanita is a girl's name of Sanskrit and Italian origin. Meaning “woman,” or "served," Vanita is recognized in Hinduism as a role model for woman. Travelling to Italy, Vanita also directly translates to “vanity,” giving baby a little reminder for some self-admiration from time to time. Imbued with a certain sophistication and poise, it seems only natural that Vanita is the name of a popular Hindi lifestyle magazine that seeks to embrace the modern woman. Launched during the International Year of Women in 1975, Vanitha celebrates the complexity of womanhood, covering social issues, gender barriers, and independence. An emblem of encouragement, Vanita will inspire baby to embrace their identity in a matter that best empowers and liberates them.
