Tianna
About Tianna
A spelling variation of stylish Tiana, the form would likely get you to the tee-ANN-uh pronunciation more intuitively. Popularized by actress Tiana Alexandra-Silliphant back in the 70s and 90s, and then by the Disney movie, The Princess and the Frog in 2009, Tianna may be considered a short form of Tatiana (from Latin Tatius, meaning unknown), or perhaps from Christianna ("Christian").
Less popular than its counterpart, Tianna did rank in the US charts between 1987 and 2011, but fell out of favor, likely because the Disney film has meant Tiana is the go-to.
Pronounced tee-AN-uh.
As of October 2026, Tianna ranked #1817 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #435 in 1995.
