Meaning

a Kannada and Sanskrit name meaning poem or poetry, from the Sanskrit kavita meaning a lyric poem, derived from kavi meaning poet or seer; in the Indian philosophical and literary tradition the kavi is not merely a versifier but a visionary, a person of inspired insight who can perceive truths hidden from ordinary consciousness and express them through the power of language; to name a daughter Kavitha is to consecrate her to the value of literary beauty and poetic expression, and to connect her to the extraordinarily rich tradition of Kannada poetry stretching from the tenth-century Adikavi Pampa through the Vachana poetry of the twelfth-century Lingayat saint-poets to the modern Navya movement; the name is beloved throughout Karnataka and among Kannadigas worldwide
