What is the meaning of the name Laticiah ?

Laticiah is Latin in Origin.

Laticiah is a modern English given name, a creative spelling variant of Latisha/Laticia that ultimately traces back to Letitia, from Latin Laetitia meaning “joy” or “delight.” The added -h mirrors contemporary -ah endings and helps distinguish it from related forms while keeping the same etymological core derived from laetus, “glad, cheerful.”

Letitia has been used in Britain since the early modern period (the medieval English form was Lettice), and it enjoyed periodic revivals into the nineteenth century. In the United States, phonetic and stylistic variants such as Latisha and Laticia rose to prominence in the later twentieth century - particularly within African-American naming traditions that favored innovative La- formations. Laticiah remains a rare but intelligible offshoot, preserving the upbeat sense of happiness. Related variants and cognates include Letitia, Laetitia, Lettice, Latisha, Laticia, Latecia, Letesha/Letisha, the Spanish and Portuguese Leticia/Letícia, and the Italian Letizia.
