Last Name LETTSONSummary/Contribute |
| Meaning | The son of Lettice (Latin 'laetitia,' gladness). As a girl's name Lettice was very popular in its day. It is now rare. It suffered at the Reformation, and still more so in the Puritan era, not being a Bible name, and implying hilarity. Lett was the nickname, Letts and Lettson being the patronymics. Lettsom is occasionally a corrupted form of Lettson (like Ransom for Ranson), but in general it is local. | |
