Fanita, of Latin origin, is an elegant and distinctive given name for girls. It is a variant spelling of the Italian name 'Fanny', which was derived from the Latin word 'Fortunata', meaning 'lucky' or 'fortunate'. Fanita carries a touch of vintage charm while still sounding modern and approachable.
Fanita was chosen for 21 baby girls born in 1965 and another 12 in 1966, making it the name of 33 newborns during those two years.
