Chita
ch(i)-ta
Origin:Spanish
Meaning:Conception
An adorable feminine name, Chita celebrates an important teaching in the Catholic faith. It's a diminutive of Conchita, a Spanish title that is itself a nickname for Concepción. Simply meaning "conception," Chita and all its variants are typically used to honor the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. Marked by Catholics throughout the world on December 8th each year, the Immaculate Conception refers to the belief that the Virgin Mary was conceived and born free of original sin. As your little Chita begins to learn about and connect with their faith, they can take pride in the story of their name.
