Kita is of Japanese origin, meaning 'a small island'. It is composed of two kanji characters: 'ki' (木) which signifies 'tree', and 'ta' (田) representing 'rice field'. This unique name has a feminine feel but is often used for both males and females in Japan. In other countries, it may be more commonly recognized as a female given name due to its soft, delicate sound.
"The name Kita experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with peaks in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and more recently in 2023."
