Thinking about the name
Ritta
Latin origin
“A diminutive form of Rita, which itself derives from the Latin Margarita, meaning 'pearl.' Ritta has a cheerful, vintage European feel—especially in Italian and Scandinavian contexts—while remaining warm and accessible. It evokes a kind of mid-century charm with genuine substance beneath its friendly sound.”
