Rita is a christian girl name and it is an English originated name with multiple meanings. Rita's name meaning is pearl and the associated lucky number is 3.I have always loved and admired my sister’s name Rita. And, it’s a Biblical name. The spiritual meaning of Rita is the physical order of the universe, the order of the sacrifice, and the moral law of the world. Rita has a very powerful meaning. And it sounds really pretty.
Rita is not a "Christian girl name", no one religion owns it. Rita is short for Margherita, which means "pearl", but doesn't have its own independent meaning, however does not "spiritually" mean "balance of the universe" or anything of the sort. After googling it, I found that the gibberish you preach with confidence was copied and pasted off a random website with seemingly no legitimacy. Remember, kids, you can't believe everything you see on the internet!
