History & Origin

Latrease belonged to a naming movement. Coinages with the La- opening flourished through the nineteen-sixties and seventies, and this one reached its slim high around 1976.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and its run closed by the mid nineteen-nineties. A girl named Latrease at that peak would be nearing fifty today. The name reads as an inventive, sound-led coinage.

Did you know? The La- prefix drove a wave of freshly minted names in mid-century America, and Latrease sits in that family alongside Latrice and Latreese, all resting on sound rather than a single translation.
