Meaning and background

The story behind Dita

Dita is used as a feminine name in Czech, German and Latvian settings. It can be a short form of longer names such as Judita and names involving the Germanic element Diet-, so a single literal translation would erase its varied sources. The Czech pronunciation has an initial consonant softer than an English d. Its brevity and two syllables are immediate, but the precise name history belongs to the particular linguistic tradition.
