English variation of Letitia

Lettice Origin and Meaning

The name Lettice is a girl's name of English origin meaning "joy, gladness".

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.
