History & Origin
Letricia is a variant of Latricia/Patricia, from Latin patricius, 'noble', reshaped with a Le- opening that also echoes Leticia, from Latin laetitia, 'joy'. Such creative respellings flourished in mid-century American naming. It appears in United States records from the late nineteen-thirties and reached its high in the mid nineteen-sixties.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, so a Letricia from that time would be in her fifties now. The spelling reads as of its era, and while Patricia is a settled classic, this variant stays rare and may prompt a quick spell-out.
