Joy, happiness; or a variant of Laetitia
Latia is most commonly understood as a modern American variant of the Latin name Laetitia, which means joy or gladness. It may also be used as a rhythmic elaboration of the name Tia. While rare today, it follows the pattern of Latinate names ending in -ia that were popular in the late 20th century.
