ArchivesRe: Does anyone know the meaning of Tatiana? m
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
The theory of Tata, baby-talk word for "father", as etymological source of Tatius, comes from The Latin Cognomina by I. Kajanto (Helsinki, Keskuskirjapaino, 1965) and appears (despite of Josep M. Albaigès's books) in Los nombres de pila españoles by Consuelo García Gallarín (Madrid, 1998), in Dizionario dei nomi propri by Giuseppe Pittàno (Milan, 1990) and in many Italian names websites.
Roberto Faure (Diccionario de nombres propios, Madrid, 2002) indicates that Tatius is probably from an Etruscan origin, but that some authors have proposed the Greek τάσσω (Atticus τάττω), "to ordre, to arrange, to put in order a battle".

Lumia you are a genius...
...many Greek sources mention that the names Tatianos/Tatiane/Tatiana signifies "person who puts things in order" and I spend a lot of time yesterday to make a connection without success. This is because "to but things in order" is "tasso" whereas the ancient (Attic dialect) "tatto" is no longer spoken :)
