Latonja
Meaning of Latonja
Latonja is a modern American feminine name formed by pairing the Spanish article la with Tonja, a variant of Tonya that traces back to the Latin name Antonia. Its structure reflects mid-20th-century naming patterns favoring innovative blends with cultural resonance, particularly among Latin American and African American communities. U.S. Social Security records show Latonja entered the national top 1,000 in the early 1960s, peaked in 1973 with 48 recorded births (rank 697), and then declined steadily to five births (rank 844) by 1994. Pronounced luh-TON-juh (/ləˈtɒn.jə/), the name offers a balanced stress pattern and a clear link to classical Latin roots within a contemporary American context.
