ArchivesThe real meaning of Tatiana: Missing link found?
Tatiana is such a beautiful name. The only meaning I can find is "fairy princess" which seems a little odd and unauthentic. I am also finding that the true meaning is unknown. I think I may have found the missing link, revealing that Tatiana could mean "Gift of God"
Here is what I am finding:
"Tatiana is the feminine form of the Roman name Tatianus, a derivative of the Roman name Tatius... Tatius is Roman family name of unknown meaning, possibly of Sabine origin."
Could there be a link between Tatius (Possibly Sabine - which spoke an Indo-European language, and was located in ancient Rome) and Tadeo (Italian version of Thaddeus)? It doesn't seem to be too far of a stretch.
If Tatius is a Roman family name spoken in Indo-European language, and if you combine "TAD"eo with Thadd"EUS", would you not find a link between the two?
If and when you see the possible correlation, you will notice that Thaddeus is from the Greek name Θεοδωρος (Theodoros), which meant "gift of god" from Greek θεος (theos) "god" and δωρον (doron) "gift".
Just a thought. I much prefer the meaning "Gift of God" to "Fairy Princess" especially since I can't find any sources that show how Tatiana even slightly means "Fairy Princess".
Opinions?
