[Facts] Re: Any Info/ Background on the name Chiquita?
in reply to a message by Steph
In Portuguese, Chiquita [shee-KEE-ta] is a diminuitive of Chica [SHEE-ka], which is a nickname for Francisca.In Spanish, "chiquita" [tchee-kee-tah] simply means "little girl" ("chica" means "girl"). I imagine using it as given name among non-Spanish speakers would be inspired by similar-sounding Spanish names like Bonita, Juanita, Lolita, etc.
