Latin America is called like that because people there speak 3 Latin languages, Spanish, French and Portuguese, as opposed to English which is a Germanic language. Haitians speak French, so technically they are Latinos too, since French comes from the Latin language. The correct term is "Hispanic" if you want to refer to a Spanish Speaker.
