Marita is an Italian equivalent of the Norwegian name Maritha. The feminine diminutive in question serves as an affectionate nickname for Margherita ("Margaret"), whose origins may go back to the ancient Greek μαργαριτης (margarites) and the more ancient Sanskrit मञ्यरी (manyari)for "pearl." The pronunciation will be "ma-REE-ta" for the nickname and "MAR-ghey-REE-ta" for the forename in Italian.
