Latosha combines the French-derived prefix 'La-' (meaning 'the') with 'Tosha,' which may have multiple origins. Tosha could be a diminutive of names like Natasha (of Slavic origin meaning 'birthday of the Lord'), or it could stand independently. The name gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1970s, peaking in usage around 1977-1978. The name's phonetic appeal and distinctive combination of elements contributed to its rise during a period when prefixed names with melodic endings were trending. Usage data indicates the name crossed various demographic groups but saw declining frequency from the 1980s onward. Pronunciation typically follows the pattern luh-TOH-shuh, with emphasis on the middle syllable.
