Meaning and background
The story behind Tita
Tita has two Italian personal-name relationships in the surname dictionary. The entry records a feminine form of Tito and a shortened form of Battista. Those are alternatives behind the same spelling, rather than a reason to combine both full names into one derivation. For a dog named after a particular Tita, keeping the intended family connection makes the historical account clearer than assigning a universal translation.
- Origin
- Italian surname from feminine Tito or a short form of Battista. Source
