Meaning & origin
Latrise is a modern American coinage that first appeared in birth records in 1968, reflecting the era's trend of creating distinctive names with the La- prefix. The name reached its peak popularity in 1979, but it has never been widely common and has remained rare. In the most recent data (2025), Latrise did not rank among the top names, and its trajectory has been stable at very low usage. The name is overwhelmingly given to girls and carries no specific meaning, instead deriving its identity from the style of its creation.
Latrise is a modern coinage that emerged in the United States in the late 1960s. It appears to be a blend of the popular prefix La- (common in African American naming traditions) with the name Trice or as a variant of Latrice, itself a respelling of LaTricia. The name has no known meaning outside its constructed form.
