History & Origin
Lateisha is a modern coinage in the La- prefix style, and its sound sits right on top of Latisha โ itself a reshaping of Letitia, from the Latin laetitia, 'joy' or 'gladness'. Through that family resemblance Lateisha inherits a genuinely pleasant meaning, dressed in the -eisha spelling fashionable in its decade.
Lateisha crested around 1993 and stayed uncommon, part of a broad but individually rare group of La- names. A girl named Lateisha then is now in her early thirties. It reads as a coinage of its moment with a warm underlying sense; Latisha is the more familiar form, and Lateisha has not separately revived.
