Juanita is a two part word. Juan and ita. Juan being the spanish form of John. Ita is the suffix added meaning small in the feminine form. So basically, Small John (feminine). or Little John Girl. Im not sure there is an exact translation into English from spanish, but that is the closest approximation available. In English, John means God is Gracious, Merciful. So to take it one step further, Juanita means Little girl who is gracious under God's mercy.
