Liticia is Italian, Latin, Portuguese in Origin.
Liticia is a modern respelling of Leticia/Letitia, rooted in the Latin Laetitia, meaning “joy, gladness, delight.” The Latin word also personified Joy in Roman iconography, helping the name travel through ecclesiastical Latin into medieval Europe as a virtue-inspired choice. Though rare compared with its sibling forms, Liticia preserves the same upbeat meaning and mellifluous rhythm.
Across languages the name appears as Leticia (Spanish), Letícia (Portuguese), Letitia (English), Letizia (Italian), and Laetitia or Laëtitia (French); the archaic English Lettice also belongs to this family. Usage has ebbed and flowed: Letitia was familiar in Britain from the 1600s to the Victorian era, while Leticia/Letícia rose in Iberia and Latin America in the 20th century. Liticia surfaces in late-20th-century records, chiefly in the Americas, as a phonetic or stylistic variant. Nicknames include Leti/Letty/Lettie, Tish, and Tisha.
