Tiana
Meaning of Tiana
Tiana is a lively little name with a Latin heartbeat—born as a streamlined sister to Tatiana and Christiana, she carries meanings that range from “fairy queen” to “follower of Christ.” Say it out loud—tee-AH-nuh—and it rolls off the tongue like a quick paso doble, bright and confident. Pop culture gave her extra sparkle when Disney’s Princess Tiana stirred up the New Orleans bayou in 2009, and parents have been sprinkling that stardust on birth certificates ever since. Short, sweet, and easy to pronounce in Spanish, Italian, or English, the name feels at home in many cultures, like a traveler who never loses her rhythm. With its blend of grace and grit, Tiana tells a child, “Dream big, work hard, and dance while you’re at it.”
