History & Origin

Latron belongs to that inventive family. It surfaced in the early nineteen-seventies and reached its modest high around 1980.

It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak. A boy named Latron then would be in his forties today. The name has a crisp, tech-tinged sound thanks to its -tron ending, while its roots are firmly in creative American coinage.

Did you know? The La- prefix at its start was one of the most productive building blocks in late-century African American naming, attaching to endings like -mar, -trell, -ron, and here -tron.
