Letica

Meaning & origin

Letica is a rare girl's name in the United States, first appearing in Social Security records in 1962. It reached its peak usage in 1982, but even then the number of occurrences was very small; the name has never entered the national rankings. The trajectory has been stable and low, with no significant revival in later decades. Letica may be a creative spelling of the more common Leticia, which traces back to the Latin word laetitia, meaning 'joy' or 'gladness'. Alternatively, it could be a modern invented name using the fashionable -ica ending, seen in names like Jessica or Veronica. Because the name is so uncommon, it has no strong regional or cultural association, and no top states have recorded notable usage. Parents drawn to Letica often appreciate its melodic, feminine sound and its rarity.
