Latoiah is in Origin.
Latoiah is a modern American feminine given name, an embellished variant of Latoya formed by adding the -iah ending familiar from names like Mariah and Josiah. Latoya is often linked to Toya - sometimes used as a nickname for Victoria or Antonia in Spanish-speaking contexts - though it also functions as an independent given name within African American naming traditions that favor creative prefixes such as La-, Le-, and De-.
Use of the broader Latoya family surged in the United States in the late 1970s and 1980s, helped by entertainer La Toya Jackson; Latoiah appears as a later, stylistic spelling. Common variants include Latoia, Latoiya, Letoia, LaToiah, and Latoya; diminutives include Toya, Tia, and Lati. Meanings are interpreted through the root Toya: if linked to Victoria it conveys victory or victorious, while an Antonia connection yields the popular gloss priceless. Many bearers treat Latoiah as a distinctive modern creation without fixed etymology.
Latoiah does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
