History & Origin
Laticha is a modern American spelling of Latisha, a reshaping of Leticia that traces back to the Latin laetitia, 'joy' or 'gladness'. The La- opening places it among the popular American names of its era, while the -icha ending spells the soft close phonetically. Its true meaning is the happy one it inherits from Leticia.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its late-1970s high and rare throughout. A woman named Laticha from then is now in her forties.
