History & Origin
Latrisa is a modern American coinage that sets the La- prefix over a core like Trisa or Latrice, the latter tied to Patrice and the Latin patricius, 'noble.' Names of this shape spread widely through African-American communities in the later twentieth century, and Latrisa's precise assembly is uncertain, which we note.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-seventies, and it faded by the late nineteen-eighties. A girl named Latrisa then is in her fifties today.
