Letrece is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of American origin. It is a variant spelling of the more common Latrice, which is derived from Latin roots 'later' meaning 'late', and 'tus', signifying 'of'. Therefore, Letrece translates to 'one who has come late'. This name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, predominantly among African American communities. The unique spelling of Letrece sets it apart from its counterparts, giving it a contemporary and individualized feel.
"Letrece was quite popular among parents during the late 1960s to early 1970s, with five babies named Letrece born each year from 1968 to 1977, totaling fifteen in those ten years."
