History & Origin

Naquita is a coined name of the later twentieth century, blending the sound of Nakita or Nikita with the affectionate Spanish -ita ending of Chiquita and Marquita. Nikita carries the Greek sense 'unconquered', but Naquita is chosen mainly for its soft, playful sound.

It stayed a small name: only a couple dozen girls a year, with a high point around 1986 and a run that closes by the early two-thousands. A girl named Naquita then is in her thirties now. It reads as a coinage of its era rather than a name currently returning.

Did you know? Naquita blends the sound of Nikita, Greek for 'unconquered', with the warm Spanish -ita ending of Chiquita and Marquita.
