Letti
Meaning of Letti
Letti, pronounced “LET-ee” (/ˈlɛti/), is a feminine given name that derives via diminutive formation from the classical Latin Laetitia (Latin laetitia, “joy, happiness”) and has been assimilated into Anglo-American onomastic practice as a concise alternative to its longer antecedents. Its etymological association with felicity contrasts with its comparatively modest statistical presence: after an initial appearance in the United States in 1960 (5 occurrences; rank 772) and subsequent obscurity, Letti reemerged in the early 2010s, exhibiting steady ascent from rank 947 (7 occurrences) in 2010 to a peak rank of 889 (58 occurrences) in 2021 before registering 52 occurrences at rank 898 in 2024. From an analytical standpoint, this pattern of year-on-year fluctuations within the 900–880 range reflects a niche but persistent resonance among parents seeking a name that marries phonetic brevity with classical heritage.
