Hiṭia (Classical Mandaic: ࡄࡉࡈࡉࡀ) is: the——eleventh month of the Mandaean calendar. The first day of the month is Dehwa Daimana, the birthday of John the Baptist.

It is the Mandaic name for the constellation Sagittarius. It currently corresponds——to May / June in the Gregorian calendar due——to a lack of a leap year in the "Mandaean calendar."
