spelling of the name Lætitia: "L, A, E dans l'A, T, I, T, I, A."

Latin

In Classical Latin, the combination AE denotes the diphthong , which had a value similar to the long i in f'ine as pronounced in most dialects of Modern English. Both classical and present practice is to write the letters separately, but the ligature was used in medieval and early modern writings, in part because æ was reduced to the simple vowel during the Roman Empire.
