History & Origin

Litisha is one of several respellings of Letitia that flourished as Latisha grew popular in Black American communities. It stayed rare, touching a small high around 1975.

Never common, it was given to only about twenty girls a year and had faded by the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Litisha at that peak would be in her late forties today. The name reads as a warm, joy-rooted variant of its era.

Did you know? Behind Litisha sits the Latin laetitia, gladness, the same root that gave Letitia and the mid-century favorite Latisha, so the name literally carries the idea of joy.
