Latese is of African origin, derived from the Yoruba tribe's word "Olatunse," meaning "the wealth of the crown." It is a unisex name but is more commonly used for males. In some cultures, it may also be interpreted as "wealthy in honor" or "one who brings wealth." The name Latese has a unique sound and can evoke feelings of strength, dignity, and prosperity. It is a rare name, which makes it distinctive and memorable.
The name Latese appears to have been quite popular for a brief period but has since declined significantly in usage, with no more than five occurrences per year after 1986.
