Latyna is a modern feminine name ultimately from Latin Latinus, “of Latium,” the central Italian region that gave its name to the Latin people and language. In several Slavic languages, forms like latyna/latyn’ denote the Latin language or rite, which helps explain the y in this spelling. As a given name, Latyna conveys “Latin woman,” “from Latium,” or more broadly “of the Latin tradition.” The root is familiar from Roman legend (King Latinus) and Christian hagiography.

Usage is rare but attested from the late 20th century, often as a creative variant of Latina in English- and Slavic-influenced contexts. Related forms include Latina (English/Spanish/Italian) and the French cognate Latine. Possible nicknames are Tina and Tyna. Note that Latyna is distinct from LaTanya/Latonya, which derive from Tanya (Tatiana) with the prefix La-.
