History & Origin
Marquitia builds on Marquita, a Spanish pet form connected to Marta and Maria. By adding an -ia ending, families turned the short diminutive into a longer, ornamental name. Its meaning follows loosely from that Spanish root; the name itself is an invented elaboration whose small record spans the late nineteen-seventies and eighties.
It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak in the early nineteen-eighties, appearing from the mid-nineteen-seventies. A girl named Marquitia then is in middle age today.
