Lutishia is in Origin.

Lutishia is a rare modern American variant related to Letitia/Leticia and Latisha, all ultimately from Latin Laetitia, meaning “joy, gladness, delight.” The inserted u and the -shia ending reflect phonetic reshaping common in 20th‑century U.S. naming, particularly within African-American communities that favored creative respellings and the appealing nickname base Tish/Tisha. While Letitia was used in England from the early modern period and Leticia is long-established in Spanish and Portuguese, Lutishia itself appears sporadically in U.S. records from the late 19th century onward and has never been widespread.

Variants and close relatives include Lutisha, Luticia, Latisha, Letisha, Laticia, Leticia, Letitia, and the classical Laetitia. Diminutives and short forms include Tish, Tisha, Lettie, and Leti. The name is typically pronounced loo-TISH-uh or loo-TISH-ee-uh. With its roots in Laetitia, Lutishia carries the uplifting sense of “joy” and “happiness.”
