Letah is English in Origin.

Letah is a rare modern feminine given name most often viewed as a respelling of Leta, from Latin Laeta “joyful, glad.” In English-speaking records, Leta rose around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, then faded; the Letah spelling appears sporadically in the same period and today reads as an updated, distinctive twist. Some bearers also connect it to the Greek Leda (Λήδα), the mythic queen loved by Zeus, or to longer forms such as Aleta/Alethea (Greek aletheia, “truth”), so meaning ranges from “joyful” to “truth.”

Variants and related forms include Leta, Leeta, Lita, Leda, Aleta, Alethea, Aletha, and Letta; diminutives like Letty or Lee are common in English. Pronounced LEE-tah or LAY-tah depending on family tradition, Letah offers vintage charm with streamlined simplicity, while remaining extremely uncommon in contemporary usage.
