Vanita is a girl's name of Sanskrit and Italian origin. Meaning “woman,” or "served," Vanita is recognized in Hinduism as a role model for woman.

Imbued with a certain sophistication and poise, it seems only natural that Vanita is the name of a popular Hindi lifestyle magazine that seeks to embrace the modern woman.
