Meaning & origin
Latresa is a modern American name that first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records in 1956. It reached its peak popularity in 1974, when it was given to the most babies that year. The name's trajectory has been stable since its peak, suggesting it never experienced a sharp decline but rather gradually fell out of common use. As a name primarily used in the 1970s, Latresa reflects the creative naming trends of that decade, particularly the use of the La- prefix. Though it is not currently ranked among the top names, Latresa remains a distinctive choice with no associated top states, indicating its usage was spread thinly across the country.
Latresa is a modern invented name that emerged in the United States in the mid-20th century. It follows the pattern of using the fashionable prefix La- attached to Teresa, a name of Greek origin meaning 'harvester'. This construction was popular among African American communities in the 1970s, creating unique feminine names.
