Tatia as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Tatia

What is the meaning of the name Tatia ?

The baby name Tatia is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced TAH-tee-uh (approx. /ˈtɑːtiə/ or /ˈtætiə/).

Tatia is Georgian in Origin.

Tatia is a feminine given name with roots in Latin and strong use in Georgia. As a regional form and affectionate short form of Tatiana, it ultimately descends from the Roman family name Tatius, of Sabine origin. In classical Rome, Tatia also appears as the feminine nomen identifying women of the gens Tatius; the name therefore carries the sense of being of Tatius or belonging to the Tatius clan, rather than a concrete lexical meaning.

Usage expanded across the Orthodox world through the cult of Saint Tatiana of Rome (3rd century), making Tatia common in Georgia and occasionally elsewhere in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. Variants and cognates include Tatiana, Tatyana, Taciana, Tatjana, Tatienne, and Tatianna; short forms include Tati, Tanya/Tania, and Tia. Related masculine forms are Tatian and Tatius. Name days often follow Saint Tatiana’s feast on 12 January.
