Where does the name Nikita come from?
Behind the Name lists a feminine Nikita used in Marathi and Hindi, derived from the Sanskrit niketa, meaning “house, habitation.” Wikipedia explains that the Indian feminine name is unrelated to the common masculine Nikita of Eastern Europe, which comes from the Greek Nicetas, “victor.” That Slavic name entered Russia through the veneration of Saint Nicetas the Goth, who died in 372. So Nikita is really two names that share a spelling.
Other forms of Nikita
Behind the Name’s family tree for the feminine Nikita lists the Hindi and Marathi Niketa and the Tamil and Telugu Nikitha. Wikipedia lists the Indian spelling Nikitā and the singer Nikhita Gandhi. Nikki and Niki would be easy pet forms in English.
Well-known Nikitas
Wikipedia’s list of Indian Nikitas includes Nikita Anand, born in 1983, an Indian model, Nikita Thukral, born in 1981, a South Indian actress, and Nikita Dutta, an Indian actress. It also names Nikita Gill, an Irish-Indian poet, Nikita Willy, born in 1994, an Indonesian actress and pop singer, and Nikita Mirzani, born in 1986, an Indonesian actress.
Nikita’s popularity
Nikita never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart shows the girls’ name ranked in 23 years between 1972 and 2000, best at 250th in 1986 and 882nd in 2000, its last ranking. The name is much stronger in Eastern Europe, where it is chiefly masculine: Behind the Name shows 6th in Estonia in 2015, 19th in Moscow in 2022 and 36th in Tatarstan in 2021.
A few more things about Nikita
Wikipedia notes that in Japan the name is also written as a phonetic transcription of several sets of characters. Its list of Slavic Nikitas includes the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev (1894 to 1971) and the filmmaker Nikita Mikhalkov, born in 1945, which shows how widely the name is used.

Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
