Fairy queen; a modern variation of Tanya
Tanyiah is a modern American elaboration of Tanya, which is a Russian diminutive of Tatiana. The name ultimately traces back to the Roman family name Tatius, associated with the legendary King of the Sabines. In contemporary usage, it is often chosen for its rhythmic, multi-syllabic sound and unique spelling.
