Meaning & origin
Latisha emerged in the late 1940s, first recorded in 1948, as part of a wave of inventive American names. Its popularity surged in the 1970s, reaching a peak in 1979, but has been declining since 1985. While the exact origin is unclear, the name exemplifies mid-century naming trends that blended familiar sounds with new prefixes. Today, Latisha is rarely given, but it remains a distinctive choice with a modern, upbeat feel.
Latisha emerged in the mid-20th century, first recorded in 1948. It likely blends the popular suffix -tisha (as in Trisha) with the fashionable La- prefix seen in names like Latoya and Lakisha. The name gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s, peaking in 1979, and has since declined.
