Joyful; modern American creation
Lataysha is a modern American name likely created by combining the popular prefix 'La-' with the name Taysha. Taysha itself is often associated with the Caddo word for 'friend' or 'ally,' which is the root of the state name Texas, though in this context it is primarily chosen for its melodic contemporary sound.
