History & Origin
Takita is a coinage that joins a Ta- prefix to a -kita ending in the family of Nakita and Nikita (a Russian name from Greek for 'victory'). It appears in United States records from around 1970 and reached a small high around 1977. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Takita then would be in her forties now, a Gen-X-era coinage. It reads as a crisp, of-its-decade name and sits near Tamika and Takisha; it has not revived but keeps a light, rhythmic sound.
