Meaning & origin

Liticia is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1959. It reached its peak usage in 1975, but never entered the top 1,000 names, reflecting its consistently uncommon status. The trajectory of Liticia has been stable with negligible variation in recent decades. It is a modern spelling variant of the Latin-derived Letitia, meaning 'joy,' and is used almost exclusively for girls. Liticia has no recorded top states or notable famous bearers, adding to its under-the-radar appeal.

Liticia is a spelling variant of Letitia, itself from the Latin laetitia meaning 'joy' or 'gladness.' The name was used in medieval England among Christians, sometimes in honor of the virtue. The variant Liticia emerged in the 20th century, likely influenced by names like Leticia.
