Latangela is a modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1967, reflecting the creative naming traditions of African American communities in the mid-20th century. Its peak year was 1981, during a period when names beginning with La- were particularly fashionable. The name has seen steadily decreasing usage since the 1980s, and it has not ranked in the top 1,000 names in decades.
