      The name Quanita is of American origin, although its specific meaning remains elusive. While the etymology behind Quanita is uncertain, it is commonly used as a feminine given name in the United States. Its origins can be traced back to American parents who sought a unique and modern appellation for their daughters. However, the exact historical context of its emergence and popularization remains unclear.

      In modern-day usage, Quanita is a relatively rare name. Its usage is primarily limited to individuals of American descent and is more common among African American communities.
