What is the meaning of the name Tania ?

The baby name Tania is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced TAH-nee-uh.

Tania is Latin, Russian in Origin.

Tania is a western spelling of Russian Таня (Tanya), a familiar form of Татьяна (Tatyana), from Latin Tatiana. The Latin name is the feminine of Tatianus, built on the Roman/Sabine name Tatius with the adjectival suffix -anus, so its literal sense is of Tatius or belonging to Tatius. Titus Tatius, the legendary Sabine king of early Rome, preserves the earliest cited form.

In Christian naming, Tatiana was reinforced by Saint Tatiana of Rome, a third-century martyr honored in the Eastern Orthodox calendar; in Russia, Tatiana Day on 25 January became linked with students after Moscow University’s foundation. Tania and Tanya spread as independent given names in Russian-influenced and English-speaking use during the twentieth century, with Tanja, Tatjana, Tetiana, and Tatiana reflecting regional orthographies.
