Short form of Tatiana; also related to fire or leather.
Tanna is most frequently used as a diminutive of the Russian name Tatiana, which is derived from the Roman clan name Tatius. In some contexts, it is linked to the Germanic root 'tann' referring to fir trees or forest, and in Japanese, it can be associated with various kanji meanings depending on the characters used. In the United States, it emerged as a mid-century nickname-style choice that remains rare today.
