Latitia is Latin in Origin.
Latitia is a modern English variant of the Latin Laetitia, meaning “joy” or “gladness.” In Roman culture Laetitia was the personification of public happiness, and the name entered Christian use as a virtue, celebrating inner cheer. It spread widely in medieval and early modern Europe, with local spellings adapting to language and script.
In England the name appears from the Middle Ages, the archaic Lettice borne by nobles, and Letitia gaining favor in the 17th–18th centuries and again in Victorian times. Latitia surfaces as an alternative phonetic spelling in recent English-language records. International forms include Laetitia/Laëtitia (French), Letitia (English), Leticia (Spanish), Letícia (Portuguese), and Letizia (Italian). Nicknames and short forms include Lettie/Letty, Tish, and Tisha - all preserving the core sense of joy.
