Latusha is in Origin.

Latusha is a modern American given name, most plausibly a creative respelling within the Latasha/LaTosha family. That cluster stems from Tasha, the English adoption of Russian Natasha, itself the affectionate form of Natalia. Through this lineage the name carries the meaning "birthday [of the Lord]" or "born at Christmas," from Latin natalis (natale domini).

Usage rose in the United States from the 1970s, reflecting African-American naming styles that favor the La-/Le- prefix and distinctive phonetic twists around familiar cores. While Latusha remains uncommon, it appears alongside close variants such as LaTusha and more prevalent cousins Latasha, Latosha, and LaTosha; related forms include Natasha and Natalia. Informal short forms may be Tasha or Tusha, though Tasha is far more standard. The name's appeal lies in blending a cosmopolitan Slavic-rooted meaning with contemporary American rhythm and individuality.
