Ita / Itka by Miss Claire |
Polish naming sources describe Ita as a variation of Judith (Judyta - yoo-DY-ta, rhymes with Perdita), and give the related German Jutta.
This would sound right, don't you think - either it was adoption of the old German Jutta into Yiddish, or a diminutive developed directly from Judith.
Sincerely,
