The names of Sita :
Sita - Furrow
Janaki - Daughter of Janak or from the Janaks.
Janak Nandhini - Janak's child. (Nandhini means child (female) just like Nandhan too means child (male). Raghu Nandhan means Raghu's child or probably Child of the Raghus).
Maithili - Hails from Mithila or Daughter of Mithila.
Vaidhehi - From the Vidhehas or a daughter of Vidheha.
( I remember reading this somewhere - Maharaj Janak, Sita's father, was called Vidheha - which meant bodiless. It was said that he was a true Brahma jnaji.)
