Latrice

Latrice Origin and Meaning

The name Latrice is a girl's name.

Latrice is a feminine given name that appears to be a modern variant of names like Letitia or Beatrice, possibly combining elements of 'La' (a popular prefix in naming patterns since the mid-20th century) with '-trice' from names like Beatrice. The name emerged in usage in the United States during the 1960s and saw its peak popularity in the 1970s and early 1980s. While sometimes categorized as a creative modern coinage, Latrice demonstrates phonetic patterns common in contemporary American naming trends. Usage data shows the name has appeared across diverse communities in the United States, though it has never ranked among the top 1000 most popular names nationally. The name has a melodic quality with its soft 'La' beginning and strong 'trice' ending, which may contribute to its enduring appeal among parents seeking distinctive yet accessible names.
