Lethisha is English in Origin.

Lethisha is a modern, creative spelling of Letisha/Latisha, themselves rooted in the classical name Letitia/Leticia, from Latin Laetitia meaning joy and gladness. Through medieval French and English, the name produced forms such as Lettice and Letyce; in Romance languages it appears as Spanish Leticia, Portuguese Letícia, and Italian Letizia. The -tisha ending reflects a contemporary Anglophone reshaping of Letitia, preserving the core sense of delight and happiness.

Usage centers on English-speaking countries from the Middle Ages for Letitia, with a notable revival in the 17th–19th centuries; Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking regions have long favored Leticia/Letícia. African American naming traditions popularized Latisha/Letisha in the late 20th century, and Lethisha surfaces only rarely in recent records, lending it a distinctive, uncommon profile. Related variants include Laetitia, Letitia, Leticia, Letizia, Letícia, Lettice, Latisha, Letisha, Latesha, and Letesha; diminutives include Leti/Letty, Tish, and Tisha.
