Meaning & origin
Latesia first entered U.S. birth records in 1964, a period when creative, prefixed names were gaining traction.

Although it has not appeared in the top 1,000 names for any year, Latesia reflects a broader trend of modern American coinages that combine a stylish prefix with a familiar sound. The name's top states are not statistically significant due to its rarity, but it has appeared across the country. Latesia remains a distinctive choice, unburdened by historical baggage and open to personal interpretation.
Latesia first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1964, peaking in popularity in 1991.
