Origin
Meaning and history of Latorie
The name Latorie originates from the Latin language and is derived from the word "latorius," which means "bearer" or "carrier." It is believed to have emerged during the Roman Empire, around the 1st century AD.
In its early days, the name Latorie was primarily used in the regions of the Roman Empire, particularly in Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean. It was often given to individuals who worked as messengers, couriers, or porters, reflecting their role as bearers or carriers of goods or information.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Latorie can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus, who mentioned a man named Latorie Crassus in his work "Annals" from the 1st century AD.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have carried the name Latorie. One such figure was Latorie Gracchus, a Roman politician and reformer who lived from 169 BC to 121 BC. He is known for his efforts to enact land reforms and improve the lives of the lower classes in Roman society.
Another prominent figure was Latorie Claudius, a Roman general who lived in the 1st century AD. He played a crucial role in the Roman conquest of Britain and is mentioned in the writings of the Roman historian Suetonius.
In the Middle Ages, the name Latorie was also found among the nobility in various parts of Europe. One example is Latorie de Montfort, a French nobleman who lived from 1181 to 1242 and participated in the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars in southern France.
During the Renaissance period, the name Latorie gained popularity among artists and intellectuals. One notable figure was Latorie Alberti, an Italian Renaissance humanist, author, and architect who lived from 1404 to 1472. He is best known for his influential work "On the Family" and his contributions to the development of Renaissance architecture.
In more recent times, the name Latorie has been less common, but there have been a few individuals who have carried it. One example is Latorie Johnson, an American jazz musician and composer who was active in the mid-20th century.

FAQ
Latorie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Latorie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 69 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Latorie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 4,967,454 US residents.
Is Latorie a common name?
We classify Latorie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 59.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 74 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Latorie most popular?
The single biggest year for Latorie was 1976, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Latorie is about 45 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Latorie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Latorie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Latorie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Latorie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Latorie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Latorie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
