Meaning & origin
Latisa is a modern American name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1964. It reached its highest usage in 1973, with a modest number of girls receiving the name that year. Since then, its usage has remained low, and it has consistently stayed outside the top 1,000 names. The name never ranked nationally, reflecting its niche appeal. Despite its rarity, Latisa has shown staying power without trending upward or downward, as its usage has been stable across recent decades. The name is most often chosen for girls, and its exact derivation remains unclear.
Latisa first appeared in U.S. records in 1964, during a period when names ending in -isa and -esa were fashionable. It is likely a modern coinage, possibly blending elements from names like Latisha or Lisa. There is no known historical or linguistic derivation beyond its emergence as a creative variation in the mid-20th century.
