From the Arabic root ق-ن-ت (to be devoutly obedient, to stand long in worship), Qanita is the feminine active participle: the constantly obedient, the one whose devotion is unbroken.
The Quran uses this root of Maryam (AS) in Surah At-Tahrim (66:12): 'And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity, and she was of the devoutly obedient (min al-qanitin).' The name places the daughter under the pattern of the most honoured woman in the Quran.
