Harpita is a feminine given name of Hindu origin, rooted in Sanskrit. The name comes from the verb *hṛ* meaning “to take, seize,” with the past‑participle form *hṛta*, indicating something that has been taken away.
Historically, it has been used in classical literature and religious texts to denote objects or beings that are removed or carried off. In contemporary India, Harpita is chosen for its classical sound and clear etymology rather than any symbolic or aspirational meaning.
The name remains relatively uncommon but is recognized within traditional naming practices.
