Lataysia is a contemporary female given name of American origin. It is derived from the name Latasha, which itself originates from the ancient Latin name Laetitia meaning "happiness." The addition of "yasia" to Latasha creates a unique and modern-sounding name. Pronounced /luh-TAY-zhia/, it consists of three syllables with the stress on the second syllable. As of recent data, Lataysia is not among the top 1000 most popular female names in the United States, making it a rare and distinctive choice for parents looking to give their daughter a unique identity.
"Lataysia saw a significant rise in popularity between 2001 and 2006, with the number of births nearly doubling from 11 to 20 during this period."
