Meaning & History
Spanish diminutive of Donata. As an English name, Donita may perhaps have been derived from Spanish doñita meaning "little lady", which is comparable to how Donna was derived from Italian donna meaning "lady".Known bearers of this name include the American Christian novelist Donita K. Paul (b. 1950), the American singer-songwriter Donita Sparks (b. 1963) and the Filipino-American actress Donita Rose (b. 1974).
