According to one theory, Tatiane is related to the Greek verb "tasso" (or "tatto") which means to arrange in order, especially for battle.

Quoting a name book I have on this:
uncertain; Possibly 'fairy queen' (Old Slavonic); Possibly 'I arrange' (Greek); possibly derived from Sabine and Roman family name Tatius.

Another book also says related to Tatius (the meaning of this is uncertain, may be realated to 'tata': 'little father').

To my sweet muse
Every time you rip my heart out
Every time you break it
I pick up the pen I hold in my hands
And write the most beautiful poems
But you know what
If it's alright by you
I'd rather be happy than a poet

A couple of sources say it is a feminine form of Tatianus, itself a derivative of the Roman clan name Tatius, from a king of the Sabines, but no specific meaning is given. Another couple of sources give the meaning of "fairy queen" but that is almost certainly lumping it together or confusing it with Titania, a fairy queen character of Shakespeare.
