Meaning & origin
Latrena is a rare, modern coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1965. It reached its peak usage in 1973, but has never entered the top 1,000 names, reflecting its status as an uncommon choice. The name follows a pattern of invented 'La-' prefixed names that were fashionable in the latter half of the 20th century, particularly among African American communities. Its trajectory has been stable, with sporadic use rather than a clear upward or downward trend. Like many similar coinages, Latrena has no documented top states of popularity, as its numbers are too small for reliable geographic analysis.
Latrena appears to be a modern American coinage, possibly derived from the name Latrisha or Latanya with the fashionable -ena suffix. Its first recorded use in the United States was in 1965, during a period when invented 'La-' prefixed names were popular. It has never ranked among the top 1,000 names.
