Modern invented name, possibly meaning the noble or the ruler
Latyra is a contemporary American name likely created by combining the prefix 'La-' with the name Tyra. While it does not have a singular ancient etymology, it draws from the Scandinavian name Tyra, which relates to the Norse god Tyr, and the French-influenced prefix common in African American naming traditions.
