Letie is in Origin.

Letie is a rare diminutive and variant spelling of Lettie, most often linked to Letitia/Laetitia, from Latin laetitia meaning “joy, gladness.” Through the Romance forms Leticia (Spanish/Portuguese) and Laëtitia (French), the short forms Leti/Lety circulate widely; Letie likely developed as an English and transnational streamlined blend of those nicknames with the traditional -ie ending.

In use, Letie appears in late-19th- and early-20th‑century records across the English‑speaking world and occasionally in South Africa, where affectionate -ie diminutives are common. It fits today’s revival of vintage, light‑footed nickname names. Close variants and cognates include Lettie, Letty, Leti, Lety, Lettye (rare), and the formal bases Letitia/Laetitia/Leticia; some families also use Letie as a pet form of Alethea, though that name’s Greek root (aletheia, “truth”) is distinct. Overall, Letie carries a bright, cheerful meaning with an approachable, antique-chic sound.
