Trigueñita is a form of Trigueña which describes a female of dark-colored complexion. This word is often substituted with Morena, which is the more common term used.
Trigueña is more a puerto-rican/south american slang term, Morena is used more by europeans, mexicans, and mexican americans. This last part is from what i've gathered.
I've also encountered it in Mexican folksongs. It is, of course, derived from "trigo" (wheat). Thus "trigueña" means "wheat colored". As far as I know, the distinction between "trigueña" and "morena" is only a matter of taste.
