History & Origin

Latoria follows the productive La- pattern that gave American naming Latoya, Latasha and Latonya. Its ending borrows Victoria, from the Latin for 'victory', so what began as a euphonious coinage carries a quiet note of triumph through its second half.

A girl named Latoria at its 1984 crest is now around forty. The name is fully of its era, a graceful four-beat coinage; it reads as eighties and harmonizes with sisters named Latoya or Victoria.

Did you know? La- names flourished in Black American communities from the sixties into the eighties; Latoria, echoing Victoria, reached its high point in 1984.
