Baby will surely win your heart from day one, so why not bestow a name that celebrates their triumphant arrival? Make way for Letoya, a popular African-American name rooted in Spanish Toya and Latin Victoria. This feminine pick means "victorious one," so you can expect great things from your little star! Letoya may also take inspiration from Latona or Leto, the Greek goddess of motherhood. After giving birth to her twins, secluded on a floating island, her name became "a flower that blooms and grows in spite of darkness." Baby Letoya will know they can overcome any obstacle and emerge victorious.
