Titania does NOT mean 'fairy queen'. It was the NAME of the fairy queen in Shakespeare's play, that's all. Please read the other posts and the database entry for Titania!

It doesn't mean "fairy queen" any more than my name does...This bit of misinformation is derived from the fact that it's generally assumed to be "the Russian form of Titania" or some such nonsense. Unfortunately, that's not true, nor is the idea that Titania means "fairy queen." People think that because of the persuasive power of cheap name books and William Shakespeare. The name is tied closely enough to his character that some baby name book writers figured that was close enough to a meaning. The same is the reason I have books listing Ariel as "wind spirit" and Miranda as "tempest."That aside, I think Tatiana is a beautiful name. I really like how it looks and how it sounds. I think that Tatty would be a very nice nickname.Array
