Laetizia is Latin in Origin.
Laetizia is a Romance variant of the Latin name Laetitia, from laetitia “joy, delight.” The spelling preserves the classical ae while adopting the Italian -z- of Letizia, so it appears in Italian and some Francophone contexts alongside Laetitia/Laëtitia. Related forms include Letizia (Italian), Leticia/Letícia (Spanish/Portuguese), Letitia (English), and Letycja (Polish); diminutives include Leti, Tizia, and Tish/Tisha.
Used in late antiquity among Christians as a virtue name and linked to the Roman personification of Joy, it persisted through the Middle Ages and was revived in Renaissance and Baroque Catholic Europe. In England, Letitia enjoyed 17th–18th‑century favor. Modern visibility comes from Queen Letizia of Spain and the historical Letizia Bonaparte, while Francophone usage is buoyed by Laetitia/Laëtitia. Laetizia, though rarer, keeps the same bright sense of happiness and gladness.
