Meaning & origin
Latrisha is a 1960s coinage that reflects a distinct naming trend: the use of the prefix La- attached to an existing name or name fragment. The name was first recorded in 1963 and reached its highest usage in 1979, then declined sharply. Today it is given to fewer than one in a million newborns in the United States. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1980s, with very few occurrences. The name remains a curiosity for those interested in mid-century American naming patterns, though it has never been common enough to appear in state-level popularity lists.
Latrisha is a modern coinage that emerged in the United States during the 1960s, following the fashion of prefixing names with La- (as in Latoya, Latasha). The second element likely derives from Trisha, a diminutive of Patricia. The name saw its peak usage in 1979 but has since declined, consistent with many similar invented names of that era.
