This name can be used as 北 (hoku, kita) meaning "north" or 喜多 with 喜 (ki, yoroko.basu, yoroko.bu) meaning "rejoice, take pleasure in" and 多 (tak, oo.i, masa.ni, masa.ru) meaning "frequent, many, much."

It's not known how popular Kita was in the early and middle part of the Edo period (1603-1868) but it was uncommon in the latter part of that period and in the first half of the Meiji period (1868-1912) before becoming rare in the second half.
