Meaning and background
The story behind Osita
Osita has a documented life as an Igbo personal name, shortened from Ositadimma. The fuller name refers to things beginning to be good, rather than a conventional one-word label. In Spanish the same letters could also be read as a diminutive of *osa*, meaning a little she-bear. Those are separate linguistic possibilities, and the spelling alone cannot reveal which inspired a particular dog's name.
