Tiana (given name)
Tiana or Tianna is a feminine given name with various origins. It has been used as an extended form of the name Tia or a short form of names such as Cristiana. In the case of Vietnamese-American actor and director Tiana Alexandra, the name was an English spelling of her Vietnamese language given name, Thi Thanh Nga. It is also a Malagasy unisex name meaning loved in use in Madagascar. The name Tiana is common among speakers of Polynesian languages, including Samoan, Māori, Tahitian, and Cook Island Māori as a loan form of the name Diana. Tiana was among the most popular names for Māori girls in New Zealand in 2020.
