Euphemia LatiQue Sumpter

While we know her as Tika Sumpter, The Haves and the Have Nots star actually was born Euphemia. Tika is her nickname. As for her real name, she told WWD in 2018 that Euphemia means “well-spoken.”

“Euphemia’s been spoken over my life for so long. That’s why I think names are important,” she said. “That’s who you are. You’re being called by a name of meaning.”
