Tiny Origin and Meaning
The name Tiny is a girl's name.
Tiny is an endearing feminine name that originated as a diminutive nickname before occasionally being used as a given name. It directly references small stature or youthfulness, deriving from the English word meaning "very small." Historically, it often served as an affectionate nickname for Christina, Martina, or other names ending with "-tina." As a standalone first name, Tiny remains quite uncommon, sometimes chosen for its sweet simplicity and distinctive quality. The name peaked in limited usage during the early 20th century but never achieved mainstream popularity. Tiny conveys qualities of delicacy, charm, and uniqueness, though some may prefer it as a nickname rather than a legal name.
