Meaning & Story
The Spanish diminutive of Juana, the Spanish form of Joan/Jane — from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning God is gracious, with the -ita suffix creating a warm, feminine, affectionate diminutive form.
Juanita is a name with the warmth of Latin American family life in every syllable. It's the kind of name that gets called out from a kitchen or a back porch with genuine affection, that belongs to someone who is central to the household and knows it. For a warm, sociable female pet with a generous spirit and a strong personality, Juanita is a name that carries real cultural depth. The nickname Nita is equally lovely and more practical for everyday park use.
