NITAI is the shortened form of NITYANANDA..
Nityananda (Bangla: শ্রী নিত্যানন্দ) (b 1474 CE) is famous as a Vaishnava saint. His importance in Vaishnavism, and especially Gaudiya Vaishnavism in Bengal, is central. Nityananda was Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's friend & disciple. They are often mentioned together as Gaura-Nitai (Gaura, "golden one", referring to Chaitanya, Nitai being a shortened form of Nityananda) or Nimai-Nitai (Nimai being another name of Chaitanya). Followers often refer to Nityananda as 'Sri Nityananda', 'Prabhu Nityananda' or 'Nityananda Rama'..
According to Gaudiya-Vaishnava tradition Nityananda is an incarnation of Balarama, with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu being his eternal brother and friend, Krishna. He is considered the 'most merciful' incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead...

Nitai means sweet (mithai in Hindi) or sweety.
Nitai is also short name for Lord Nithyananda.Which means eternal sweet,eternal Bliss etc.
Nitäi is within and without. He is everywhere within this world. He is the lover and He is the sweetheart. Everyone says it. Nitäi is my regulative principles, my object of worship, and the light of my eyes. Nitäi is in all ten directions. In fact, He fills all the three worlds. Nitäi as Anaìga Maïjaré eternally serves sweet Çrématé Rädhikä. He is non-different from Baladeva, whose beautiful face resembles millions of moons and is surrounded by sakhäs and sakhés. The sister of Rädhäräëé, Anaìga Maïjaré, is very dear to Çré Çyäma, and she is the life and soul of all the sakhés. She decorates the arena of the temple named Maëi Mandira. Nitäi sustains the yogapéöha and becomes a throne for the Lord to rest on. Nitäi is also the dress and ornaments. He enjoys pastimes with the sakhés. What more can I say? Nitäi is the eyes, mouth, and limbs of everyone. Nitäi, Nitäi, Nitäi, Nitäi, I see only Nitäi dancing. Raising my hands and chanting Nitäi, I will go to Vraja. I, Våndävana däsa, only request Nitäi to kindly never leave me.”

Nitya+Ananda

-----------------------
“All glories to Nityänanda Prabhu! Maddened by ecstatic love of Godhead, He overwhelmed the universe with ecstasy. He slapped his hands together like a warrior who is about to attack, and upon seeing this, the wicked Kalé fled in terror, fearing for his life. All souls were drowned in happiness because of the dancing of Sri Nityänanda and Sri Gauräìga. Seeing such dancing or even hearing about it melts the hearts of great atheists.”
(Srila Bhaktivinode Thäkura, Gétävalé, Nagara-kértana, 8)
--------------------------
Sréla Narottama däsa Thäkura says, hena nitäi bine bhäi rädhä-krishna päite nai, that without the mercy of Lord Nityänanda, no one can attain Sri Sri Rädhä and Kåñëa. The ultimate goal of life is the attainment of krishna-prema. This is possible only by the mercy of sädhu-guru. Sri Nityänanda Prabhu is the sum total of all gurus (samañöi-guru). He is guru-tattva. All individual gurus are representations of Çré Nityänanda. Srila Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Thäkura writes in the Harmonist magazine about the manifestation of guru in the form of Sré Nityänanda:

So far you are all wrong. As I read in A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe defines the Ojibwe word giimoozaabi as "he peeks" (and, in theory, "he who peeks"), making use of the prefix giimoo(j)-, "secretly"; Rob Malouf, now an associate professor of linguistics at San Diego State University, suggested that "giimoozaabi" may indeed have also meant scout (i.e., "one who sneaks"). I was lead to this by a wikipedia listing on the meaning of the word. So I researched it and found that it was true. The above statement from A concise Dictionary on is from that wikipedia listing.
