Nichita

Nichita is a Romanian masculine given name. It is derived from the Greek name Nicetas (Νικήτας), which itself comes from the Greek word "nike" (νίκη) meaning "victory." Thus, Nichita is often interpreted as "victorious" or "conqueror."

The name is relatively common in Romania and among Romanians in other countries. It is sometimes spelled Nikita, although this spelling is more frequently associated with a Russian name.

Notable people with the name Nichita include the Romanian poet Nichita Stănescu, one of the most important figures in Romanian literature of the 20th century.
