History & Origin

Latiana is a modern coinage that fixes the popular La- prefix to Tiana, the pet form of Tatiana. Its appeal is musical rather than etymological, and like most such inventions it appeared only rarely in American records.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties, and it faded within a generation. A girl named Latiana then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Latiana sits in a productive family of La- names built by attaching the prefix to an existing name, a creative naming pattern common in Black American communities.
