History & Origin
Latasia is an American coinage that dresses Latasha in an -ia ending. Its base, Latasha, joins the fashionable La- prefix to Tasha, the short form of Natasha, so the inherited sense traces back through Natasha to 'born at Christmas'.
A true long-tail name, it was given to only a few dozen girls a year even at its turn-of-the-century peak and faded within a generation, never joining any broader revival.
