Meaning & origin
Latice is a rare American feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1968. It reached its peak usage in 1988, yet never entered the national top 1000. The name's trajectory has been stable since the 1980s, and it is given to only a few dozen girls per year at most. Latice has no recorded top states of usage, reflecting its scattered, low-frequency presence. Its etymology is uncertain, but it likely belongs to the creative respelling trend. Parents considering Latice today are choosing a name with a modern, distinctive sound and a quiet history spanning about six decades.
Latice appears to be a modern American coinage, possibly derived from the name Latisha or a respelling of the word 'lattice' as a feminine name. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1968 and saw its peak usage in 1988, though overall numbers have remained low. The name reflects a trend of inventive phonetic spellings popular in the late 20th century.
