Meaning & origin
Laticia is a feminine name of Latin origin, derived from the word for 'joy.' It first appeared in U.S. records in 1948, but never reached the top 1,000 rankings. Its peak year was 1973, when it saw its highest usage. Since then, the name has remained stable in low frequency, persisting steadily without major revival. While not common, Laticia offers a distinctive alternative to more popular names like Leticia, appealing to parents seeking a familiar yet uncommon choice.
Laticia is a spelling variant of Leticia, which derives from the Latin word laetitia, meaning 'joy' or 'happiness.' The name Leticia was used among early Christians and has been common in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries. Laticia emerged as a less common English variant, particularly in the United States, where it peaked in usage during the 1970s.
