Letitah is Latin in Origin.

Letitah is a contemporary spelling of Letitia, ultimately from Latin Laetitia, meaning joy, gladness, or delight. The root traveled widely in Europe: in medieval England it appeared as Lettice, while learned and devotional currents in the 16th-17th centuries restored Letitia. Parallel forms took hold elsewhere, including French Laetitia, Italian Letizia, Spanish Leticia, and Portuguese Letícia, all keeping the cheerful sense intact.

The Letitah form adds a final -h, a stylistic flourish comparable to Sarah or Hannah, and is found in some Anglophone African and diaspora communities. Pronunciation typically mirrors Letitia: leh-TEE-tah or leh-TEE-tuh, with the -h silent. Common short forms include Lettie or Letty, Leti, Tish, and Tisha. Close variants and cognates include Letitia, Laetitia, Lettice, Leticia, Letizia, and Letícia. Across its spellings, the name conveys exuberance and gladness, making Letitah a distinctive yet meaning-rich choice.
