Tarnya

Tarnya is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Tanya, which itself derives from the Russian diminutive of Tatiana. This uncommon spelling variation adds distinctiveness to the traditional name. The origin of Tatiana traces back to the Roman family name Tatius, possibly meaning 'fairy queen' in some interpretations. Tarnya has been occasionally used in Australia and the United Kingdom, though it remains relatively rare worldwide.
