Recorded 1959–2022 · United States
Latasha was most popular in 1980, when 2,069 American babies were given the name — ranking #275 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 30,325 people named Latasha.
Latasha first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1959, which makes it about 66 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 62 of the 67 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 30,325 American births named Latasha between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 29,223 are estimated to be alive today.
Latasha was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Latasha is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 5 births a year across 2021–2025 against 10 a year a decade earlier — at these counts a single baby moves the percentage, and any year under five births is withheld at source.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Across the whole record Latasha is a girl’s name — 99.6% of the 30,325 Americans given it were girls and 0.4% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 100% girls and 0% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 29,223 Americans named Latasha are alive today — 96% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 45 years old, and half are between 40 and 49. That is a narrow band: Latasha arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
How much more common the name is in each state than across the country as a whole.
