Meaning & origin
Lateria first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1976, but its meaning and origin remain unclear, likely a modern coinage rather than a name with deep historical roots. The name experienced its highest usage in 1992, 16 years after its debut, but never entered the top 1000, placing it among the rarest names on record. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1990s, with no notable revival. The name appears to be a creative blend, perhaps inspired by Latonia or influenced by the suffix -eria, common in given names of that era. Despite its obscurity, Lateria has a melodic, feminine sound.
