What is "nikita"

Nikita, also called La Femme Nikita (, "The Woman Nikita"), is a 1990 Franco-Italian action thriller film written and directed by Luc Besson.

Nikita ( Anne Parillaud) is a teen who robs a pharmacy and murders a policeman. She is sentenced to life in prison, where her captors fake her death, and she is given the choice of becoming an assassin, or being killed. After intense training, she becomes a talented killer. Her career as an assassin goes well until a mission in an embassy goes awry.

H NikitA is a Ukrainian pop duo formed in Ukraine by Yuriy Nikitin. The group consists of Dasha Astafieva, Anastasiya Kumeyko.

NikitA is one of the most controversial bands in the Russian speaking world. They are said to be one of the most unusual Ukrainian music bands, as their specified theme of music is "Sexual Aggression". The band released their first single, "Mashyna" (Car), in 2008.

"Nikita" is a song by English singer Elton John about the Cold War from his 1985 album Ice on Fire. Released late in the year, the song was successful in many countries and was a top ten hit in almost all of them.

Nikita originated as a masculine Russian name. The Ukrainian and Belarusian variant are Микита Mykyta , and Мікіта Mikita , respectively (but Нiкiта Nikita is also in use in both countries). The Romanian variant is Nichita. The name is derived from the Greek Nicetas (Νικήτας, meaning " victor"). The Greek name entered Slavic onomastics due to the veneration of Saint Nicetas the Goth (died 372) in the Russian Orthodox Church.

Since the later 20th century, the name Nikita was adopted as a feminine name in some countries such as France. This development was presumably inspired by Elton John's song Nikita (its music video portrayed a female Russian border guard, presumably the Nikita of the song) and the French film Nikita.

There is also an unrelated Indian feminine name Niketā निकेता, Nikitā निकिता, from a Sanskrit word nikita निकेत, niketana निकेतन meaning "house, habitation; temple".

Q was in talks to appear on the series as the title character in February 2010, and it was her first time working on a television series.

The character and Q's portrayal garnered mostly positive reactions from critics. Q performs her own stunts of the series.
