Tatiana is a feminine given name of Greek origin. It means "arrival of the great one" in Greek. The name Tatiana was popularized by Alexander Pushkin's poem "Evgeny Onegin," where he named his heroine Tatiana. Before that, it wasn't widely used outside of Greece and Russia. Tatiana has been associated with high culture and intelligence since then due to its use in literature.
The name Tatiyana has seen a significant rise and fall in popularity over the past three decades in the United States. In 1987, only five girls were named Tatiyana at birth, but this number began to increase steadily throughout the early to mid-1990s.
From 1992 onwards, more than 30 births per year were recorded for the name Tatiyana, reaching a peak of 173 births in 1999. This period marked the height of popularity for the name, with over 165 babies named Tatiyana each year from 1998 to 2000.
However, similar to many unique names, Tatiyana's popularity began to decline after this peak. Between 2001 and 2012, there were fewer than 100 births per year with the name Tatiyana, reaching a low of just 47 births in 2012.
Despite the decrease in annual births, Tatiyana has maintained some level of popularity among parents over time. From 2013 to 2022, there were at least five births per year with the name Tatiyana each year.
In total, from 1987 to 2022, a combined 2,145 babies born in the United States have been named Tatiyana. This demonstrates that while its popularity has waxed and waned over time, the name Tatiyana continues to be chosen by parents for their daughters throughout the decades.
