In digital electronics, latching current is the minimum current required to maintain some component (..triac, thyristor, etc..) in its 'on' condition after the initial activation signal has been removed.

In relays, solenoids, and contactors (all of which are basically solenoids) latching current is the current required to maintain the solenoid in the "on" position. Many manufacturers call this the "seal-in current".
For electronic circuitry, go with braxton_paul's answer.
