Meaning & origin
Aritha is a rare girls' name first recorded in the United States in 1921. It saw a minor spike around 1927, ranking in the low thousands for that year but never entering the top 1000. The name has a consistent but extremely low usage pattern, with no recorded births in recent years. Its unknown meaning and lack of clear origins contribute to its rarity, though the simple structure makes it intuitively pronounceable. The name may appeal to parents seeking an uncommon, melodic option with a vintage feel tied to the 1920s.
Aritha appears to be a rare modern English name, possibly created from Ari or Arith with the popular feminine suffix -a. It could also be a respelling of Arithea, an obscure name of uncertain origin. The name had a minor peak in the 1920s, with the earliest recorded use in 1921 in the U.S.
