Shalita is a rare and unique given name of African origin, particularly from West Africa, often attributed to names such as Shala or Chaka. It has not gained widespread popularity but remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Shalita experienced a significant increase in popularity from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, with the highest number of births occurring in 1988 (28). However, it appears that this trend began to decline towards the end of the 1980s and into the early 1990s.
