It is also sometimes interpreted as a variant of Greek Thalia (Θάλεια), name of a Charite and the Muse of comedy, from thallein “to blossom,” yielding the meaning “flourishing, blooming.” In Arabic-influenced contexts, Thania/Thaniya can echo words meaning “second; second-born” or relate to Thana/Thanaa “praise.”
