Kitanya is in Origin.

Kitanya blends English and Slavic naming currents: Kit, the medieval English diminutive of Katherine (and sometimes Christopher), fused with Tanya, the well-known Russian pet form of Tatiana. The result has a Slavic cadence yet remains accessible to English speakers. It is absent from traditional calendars and early records, emerging in late-20th/early-21st-century use as a creative, cross-cultural elaboration.

As a modern coinage, its meanings are associative: from Katherine comes the Greek katharos, “pure”; Tatiana is a Roman family name of uncertain sense, celebrated through an early Christian martyr. Variants and spellings include Katanya, Kitaniya, and Kitania; related forms are Katya and Tanya. Nicknames range from Kit and Kita to Tani/Tanya and Anya. Usage remains rare in English-speaking countries, giving Kitanya a distinctive, cosmopolitan flair.
