Joy, gladness, or happy
Lateisha is an American variant of Letitia, which is derived from the Latin word 'laetitia'. It gained popularity in the late 20th century as part of a trend of adding prefixes like 'La-' to classic names. It carries the same etymological roots as names like Lettie or Tisha, signifying a cheerful disposition.
