Letashia is English in Origin.

Letashia is a modern American given name, most plausibly a blended or embellished form combining Letitia/Leticia (from Latin Laetitia, “joy, gladness”) with Tashia/Tasha (a diminutive of Natasha, the Russian form of Latin Natalia, “birthday [of the Lord], Christmas”). Its rise fits late‑20th‑century African‑American naming styles that favor lyrical coinages and La/Le‑ prefixes; the name saw modest use in the United States in the 1980s–1990s and remains rare today.

Variants and related forms include Letasha, LaTashia, Latasha, Letitia, Leticia, Laetitia, Letizia, Tashia, Tasha, and Natasha. Diminutives such as Lettie, Leti, Tasha, and Shia also appear. Because of its composite roots, Letashia can be interpreted to mean “joy” with an added association to Christmas or natal celebration, conveying a sense of happiness and festivity. Cross‑linguistic counterparts center on Laetitia/Leticia in Romance languages and Natasha/Natalia in Slavic traditions.
