Tizian is Italian in Origin.

Tizian is the German form of Tiziano, ultimately from Latin Titianus, a cognomen meaning "belonging to Titus." Titus itself is an ancient Roman praenomen of uncertain origin, sometimes linked with Latin titulus "title," so the name is often interpreted as "of Titus" or "pertaining to honor." Variants include Italian Tiziano (fem. Tiziana), English/French Titian/Titien, and the Latin Titianus; short forms such as Tizi appear in modern use.

As a given name, Tizian entered German use through admiration of Italian art and saints. The Renaissance painter Tiziano Vecellio (called Tizian in German) gave it artistic cachet, while figures like Saint Tiziano of Oderzo anchor older Christian usage. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland it has enjoyed modest late-20th-century revival, prized for a sleek, continental feel, and remains rare in English-speaking countries, where Titian is mostly an artistic epithet.
