Meaning & origin
Latitia is a rare Latin-derived name meaning "joy," first recorded in the United States in 1953. It saw its greatest popularity in the early 1970s, with the peak year being 1971, but it has never entered the top 1000 rankings. The name belongs to a stable trajectory in recent decades, with very few annual registrations. As a variant of Laetitia and Letitia, it offers a less common alternative that retains a classic, elegant feel. Though not tied to any specific state, its usage is scattered across the country.
