Carmelitha is a feminine name that serves as an elaborate variation of Carmel or Carmela. These names derive from Hebrew origins, specifically from "Karmel," meaning "garden" or "orchard." The name has biblical associations with Mount Carmel in Israel and connections to Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Catholic traditions. The addition of the suffix "-itha" creates a more ornate and distinctive version of the traditional name.
