Llata is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily a type of flatbread and a surname. As a food item, Llata is a traditional unleavened flatbread common in parts of the Middle East and North Africa, particularly in Yemen. It is typically made from wheat flour, water, and salt, and is often cooked on a griddle or in a traditional oven called a taboon. Llata can vary in thickness and texture, with some versions being thin and crispy, while others are thicker and chewier. It is a staple food, often eaten with various dishes such as stews, dips, or meats. The preparation and consumption of llata are deeply ingrained in the culinary traditions of the regions where it is found. As a surname, Llata is of Spanish origin. It is likely a toponymic surname, meaning it was derived from a place name. While not one of the most common surnames, it can be found in Spanish-speaking countries and among descendants of Spanish emigrants. The etymology of the place name itself might relate to words describing a flat area or a plain.
