Latesha
Meaning of Latesha
Latesha (pronounced luh-TEE-shuh, /ləˈtiːʃə/) is a modern American name formed by attaching the popular feminine prefix “La-” to the diminutive Tisha (itself a short form of Natasha, meaning “birthday”). First appearing in name registries in the late 1970s, it found particular favor in Anglo-American communities and gained modest traction in North Carolina during the 1980s and early 1990s. There, Latesha ranked between 136 and 155 for newborn girls, peaking at nine recorded births in 1986 and again in 1992. Its construction reflects a period of creative name-building, offering a blend of familiar roots and a distinctive sound. Steady but never ubiquitous, Latesha conveys a sense of individuality balanced by its clear connection to more established forms.
