    Can anyone tell me where the name TIANA originated from. I would also
    appreciate the meaning of the name.

|     Hi,
    I don't know for certain, but Tiana looks like an abbreviated Christiana
    to me.  Where Christiana comes from, I don't know either - maybe Greek.
    Again, Christiana looks like a form of Christine - usually means
    Christian or Christ like I think.
    
    It is pretty - Tiana - never heard of it before.
    
    Chris

|     It looks like an abbreviation of Tatiana to me.
    
    (It's a Russian word meaning perfume.) Just kidding.  :-)

| I know someone named Taina (prononced tIna, long 'i') and her mother was from Tahiti so I imagine that is the origin of that particular spelling and pronounciation. Dawn | |||||
