Meaning:*
This name derives from the Latin “lætus > lætĭtĭa > letizia,” meaning “joy, a reason for joy, happiness, fecundity, fertility, lushness, grace, beauty, ornament (style).” In England, the form Lettice was widespread during the middle ages and was revived in the eighteenth century. Saint Leticia, whose feast day is October 21, is venerated as a virgin martyr. A saint with the same name had a feast day occurring on March 13.

A center of her cult in Spain is the Aragonese town of Ayerbe.
