History & Origin
Latrenda is a made name rather than a translated word, part of the flowering of African American coinages that joined prefixes like La-, Sha- and Ta- to varied bases. Latrenda pairs the La- opening with a -trenda base and appears in United States records from the mid-nineteen-sixties.
It reached its brief high point in 1965 and stayed rare, fading by the nineties, worn by a small cohort of women now in their late fifties. Latrenda reads as a distinctly mid-century coinage and is not part of any revival.
