Caritina is of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word 'carus', meaning dear or beloved. It is a feminine given name that has been used for centuries, particularly in Italy and other regions where Italian influence is significant. The name Caritina is often associated with warmth and affection due to its literal translation. While it may not be as commonly used today as some other names of Italian origin, such as Sofia or Isabella, it remains a unique and endearing choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter.
The number of girls named Caritina has remained steady over time, with a slight dip in 2002.
