Lettice
About Lettice
Lettice is still occasionally heard in upper-class British families, but we fear it would cause too much salad-green teasing to be considered in the U.S. Calling your little Lettice Lettie could help make the name more user-friendly, or go all the way to the original Letitia.
Pronounced LET-is.
As of October 2026, Lettice ranked #8104 in US births in 1969 SSA, peaked at #3858 in 1922.
Editor's take: The name Lettice is a girl's name of English origin meaning "joy, gladness".
