Latisha
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Latisha: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2003.
Latisha is a modern coinage, most likely an elaboration of Tisha (a nickname for Patricia or Letitia) or a blend of the popular prefix La- with Tisha. Its roots may also trace to the Latin *laetitia* meaning "joy," via Letitia. The name gained prominence in African American communities during the 1970s. Actress and singer Tisha Campbell, known for *Martin* and *My Wife and Kids*, was born Latisha Campbell. While no major places bear the name, Latisha remains a rhythmic, stylish choice that peaked in Scotland in the 1990s, often shortened to Tisha or Tish. A notable variant is Letitia, sharing that same "joyful" Latin heritage.
