The name Anita has been used for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, the western Pacific Ocean, and the southwestern Indian Ocean.
Anita was on one of the lists for the North Atlantic between 1971–1978:
Hurricane Anita (1977), Category 5 hurricane that made a powerful landfall in northern Mexico
Because the list used for this season was not used again after a new list containing male names came into usage in the 1979 season, it was not replaced with any particular name.
Anita was also used for nine tropical cyclones in the western Pacific:
Tropical Storm Anita (1950) (T5038)
Typhoon Anita (1955) (T5504)
Tropical Depression Anita (1959) (07W), Japan Meteorological Agency analyzed it as a tropical depression, not as a tropical storm
Tropical Storm Anita (1961) (26W), Japan Meteorological Agency analyzed it as a tropical depression, not as a tropical storm

Typhoon Anita (1973) (T7302, 02W)

Anita was also used for a rare South Atlantic cyclone:
Tropical Storm Anita (2010), the second tropical cyclone in the Southern Atlantic Ocean on record; did not make landfall, but brought gusty winds to Brazil
Anita was also used for two tropical cyclones in the southwestern Indian Ocean:
