History & Origin

Latacha is a coined American girls' name in the Latasha family, a La- name whose -tasha thread traces to Natasha, the Russian short form of Natalia from the Latin natalis, 'born at Christmas.' It belongs to the inventive La- naming wave of its era.

It was among the rarer names here, given to only a couple dozen girls a year in a very short window around 1970. A girl named Latacha then would be in her fifties today.

Did you know? Through Latasha and Natasha, Latacha faintly echoes the Latin natalis, 'birthday' — the root behind Natalie too.
