Help[Opinions] Re: Tiana
in reply to a message by ShioTanbo1
That is ironic.
I guess one could say it comes from Sebastiana, Gratiana, Gentiana, but it doesn't really mean Christian even if it comes from Christiana; the only part of it that connects to "annointed" is the T which seems tenuous so basically it's a generic suffix...like, I wouldn't really think Tina means "just" even though it's a NN for Justina...
Though I think it'd be cooler to say it's a version of Diana (it's somewhat plausible? D and T crossover in some languages I think including Vietnamese? so why not).
