Taniyan is Sanskrit, Tamil in Origin.
Taniyan is a modern cross-cultural given name with several plausible roots. It can be an elaboration of Tani - used in Hebrew as a nickname for Natan/Netanel and in Yoruba as a short form of Tanitoluwa - paired with the popular -yan ending. In Armenian naming, -yan is a patronymic meaning “descendant of,” so Taniyan may be read as “of the family of Tani”; some also link it to Tanya (a Slavic diminutive of Tatiana), yielding a lineage sense from the Roman name Tatius. Because of these paths, associated meanings range from affectionate “little Tani” to heritage-leaning “descendant of Tanya.”
The name occurs rarely in records, emerging in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as a creative given name or as a transfer from -yan surnames. Variants and near-forms include Tanyan, Tanian, Tanean, and Tonyan; nicknames include Tani and Yan. Usage is unisex.
