Archivesquery - meaning of "SOLITA"
We named our daughter "SOLITA", presuming this meant 'little sun' in Spanish. However, we have since been told by a Chilean friend that 'SOLITA' is a pet version of 'SOLEDAD' used in families, and that 'SOLISITA' means 'little sun'. Can you clarify for us?

Solita in Spanish, literally means "little loner". i.e. "Ana está solita" translates to 'Ana is lonely'. "Solita" is very much used as a caring way , referring to lonely girls. It comes from the word "sola" (alone) with the "ita" suffix to make it a diminutive form.
I never heard of Solita being a pet form of Soledad, but hey... that's optional.
"Solisita", the way you spelled it means nothing at all. Little sun would be "SOLECITO" as the sun is a masculine, diminutive word in Spanish, there forth it ends in a "O" and has the "ito" suffix in it.
Little sun can also be "SOLCITO", no "e". Thus and finally, SOLECITA would be a feminine version of a name meaning "little sun".
Hope that helps y buena suerte,

I wondered about this one because my ex's name is Solosolo (Samoan) which was automatically shortened and Anglicised to Solo. In Nevada most of our friends were Hispanic and we all called him 'Loner' or 'Lone Wolf' as a joke. So I knew Solecito and Solo and Solita did sort of remind me of the French Soleil but it didn't all quite mesh up there for me until you spelt it out!
That was interesting - thanks!

Sol = sun (masculine word)
Sola = alone (femenine form of word)
Solo = alone (masculine form of word)
Solita = little loner (femenine, diminutive form of word)
Solito = little loner (masculine, diminutive form of word)
Solito = little sun (masculine, diminutive form of word)
Solecito = little sun (masculine, diminutive form of word)
Solecita = little sun ( incorrect term, as "sol" is a masculine word but, all the same, used and meaning "little sun" in a femenine, diminutive way)
Maybe those will explain it better ;op
