Greita

Greita is a feminine given name of Baltic origin, most commonly associated with Lithuania and Latvia. The name is derived from the Lithuanian adjective greita, meaning fast or quick, and represents the feminine form of the root greitas. In historical Baltic naming patterns, adjectives and descriptive terms were sometimes used as personal names, and greita appears in this broader onomastic context mainly in the early to mid-20th century. Today, Greita is uncommon and considered rare outside specialist genealogical or linguistic sources.

In addition to its use as a given name, greita functions as the feminine form of the adjective greitas in Lithuanian, meaning fast. The term is used in everyday language to describe rapid action, speed, or briskness, and it appears in related forms in neighboring Baltic languages as well.

There are no widely recognized figures, places, or organizations that use Greita as a primary title in major reference works. As such, the term is primarily of interest to those studying Baltic onomastics, language, or historical naming practices rather than as a common or contemporary proper name.
