Meaning & origin

Lattie is an obscure name that saw its most notable use in the early 1900s, peaking in 1905. It is a unisex name, though records indicate it was given more often to boys during its limited period of use. Despite its rarity, Lattie has a gentle, old-fashioned charm reminiscent of nickname-style names popular in that era. Because so few children received this name, no top states or 1-in-N incidence data are available. Lattie's precise origin remains unclear, but it aligns with the pattern of affectionate pet names that were common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Lattie is a rare given name of obscure etymology. It may have emerged as a pet form of names such as Lattice or as a variant of Laddie, a Scottish and northern English term for a boy. Its use in the United States is attested from the late 19th century, primarily in the early 1900s, but it never achieved widespread popularity and remains an uncommon choice.
