History & Origin

Nikitia is a modern elaboration of Nikita, itself from the Greek Niketas, meaning unconquered or victorious and rooted in nike, victory. While Nikita has served as both a male name in Eastern Europe and a female name in the West, Nikitia adds an -ia ending that marks it clearly as a girls' name in the American style.

Nikitia was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the mid-nineteen-eighties. A girl named Nikitia then is in her early forties today.

Did you know? The 'nike' at the heart of Nikitia is the same Greek word for victory that names the goddess Nike, tying this rare name to a long tradition of victory names.
