Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno Zita sa rozšírilo najmä vďaka kultu svätej Zity z Luccy z 13. storočia. Najpresvedčivejšie sa odvodzuje zo starého toskánskeho nárečového slova zita, súvisiaceho s podobou citta, vo význame „dievča“, „mladá žena“ alebo „nevesta“. Iný výklad ho pokladá za skrátenú podobu mena Felicita, ktoré pochádza z latinského felicitas „šťastie, blaženosť“.
