What is the meaning of the name Tiana ?

The baby name Tiana is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced tee-AH-nuh.

Tiana is Cook Islands Māori, English, Greek, Latin, Malagasy, Māori, Samoan, Tahitian in Origin.

Tiana has several distinct etymologies. In English it is usually a clipped or expanded form built on longer names ending in -tiana, especially Christiana, the Late Latin feminine of Christianus, from Greek Christianos, follower of Christ. It may also shorten Tatiana, Latin feminine of Tatianus, a Roman family name from Tatius, whose literal sense is uncertain. Separately, Malagasy tiana is an adjectival verb form meaning loved or wanted.

Usage follows those separate channels. In Samoan, Māori, Tahitian, and Cook Islands Māori, Tiana serves as a local form of Diana; it was among leading Māori girls’ names in New Zealand in 2020. U.S. records show a rise after 1975, when actress Tiana Alexandra gained visibility, and another lift after Disney’s The Princess and the Frog in 2009. Tianna, Tiyana, and Tianah are spelling variants.
