Meaning:Joy, happiness; Scarlet; Nobility
Letty is a charming title with vintage appeal that would be perfect for the bubbliest of babies. Typically given to girls, this English gem is popularly rooted in the longer form Letitia, Leticia, or Latisha. Meaning “joy” and “happiness” in Latin, Letty can be an ode to your little one’s sunny disposition and delightful presence. Other names that end in a syllable beginning with -l, like Scarlett and Adelaide, may also have inspired Letty’s meaning. From the Persian saqerlât, Scarlett unsurprisingly signifies “scarlet,” while Adelaide’s German roots translate to “nobility.” Fans of the hit action movie series Fast & Furious will also know Letty as the tough and fearless wife to Dominic Toretto’s character. Brave and bright, nothing will get in the way of baby Letty.
