About the name Kavita

Kavita simply means poem, which makes it one of the more literal literary names in circulation across India. Gujarat's strong tradition of vernacular poetry gave it extra pull, and it remains a safe, well-liked choice rather than a fashionable one.

Kavita is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced kuh-VEE-tah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 86 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1970s.
