Latonya

Meaning of Latonya

Latonya (luh-TOHN-yuh) sprints across the palate with the fiery flair of a salsa drum, a modern twist on the timeless Latin name Antonia (“priceless”) spiced by the affectionate “La-” prefix beloved in Afro-Latin dancefloors from Miami to San Juan. Bursting with sunshine and smiles, it conjures images of a confident young woman whose laughter ripples like a Caribbean breeze. Sweeping through Virginia’s baby-name charts in the ’70s and ’80s—peaking in the mid-1970s at rank 86—it carries a legacy of rhythm and resilience. Bold, buoyant and beautifully unstoppable, Latonya is the perfect choice for a little girl born to lead life’s conga line.
