Character Name

Sarita

Meaning — From the Sanskrit sarita meaning "river, flowing water", derived from the root sr meaning "to flow". The name may also function as a Spanish diminutive of Sara (princess, from the Hebrew sarah), with the -ita suffix adding endearment. In Indian tradition rivers are sacred, and sarita names are associated with purity, fertility, and the life-giving qualities of flowing water.·Latin origin·Female·sah-REE-tah

Sarita Sarita carries the dual resonance of Sanskrit sacred rivers and Spanish affectionate diminutive — a name that either invokes the pure, continuous flow of water that sustains all life, or miniaturizes the Hebrew princess with tender endearment. In either tradition it suggests a character whose nature is characterized by movement and nourishment, someone who brings life and continuity to the landscapes and communities she passes through. It suits characters whose calm surface conceals considerable depth and directed force.
