Tynah is English in Origin.

Tynah is a modern feminine given name, most often interpreted as a creative respelling of Tina/Tyna and occasionally influenced by the Hebrew name Dinah. As a form of Tina, it traces back to pan‑European diminutives of names such as Christina/Christina (from Greek Christos, “anointed,” hence “Christian, follower of Christ”), Kristýna, Justyna, Martyna, Valentina, and others. In Czech and Polish, Týna/Tyna functions as a familiar short form for Kristýna, Justyna, or Martyna. The -h ending aligns with late 20th–21st‑century stylistic trends in English-speaking contexts and is seen in sporadic use across North America, Europe, and parts of Africa and the Caribbean.

Variants and related forms include Tina, Tyna, Teena, Tiena, Tena, and, by association, Dinah/Dina; cognate diminutives include Czech Týna and Polish Tyna. Meanings therefore range from “follower of Christ” (via Christina/Kristýna), to “warlike” (via Martina), “strong, healthy” (via Valentina), or “judged, vindicated” (via Dinah).
