Tahtyana is of Hebrew origin and means 'wished for child'. This name gained prominence during the late Middle Ages, often used among Jewish communities but has since become more widely adopted across various cultures. It consists of two elements: 'Tahat' meaning 'underneath' and 'Yana', a variant of 'Yannah', which signifies 'grace'. In some cases, it's been associated with the biblical story of Hannah, who was prayed for a child, thus giving rise to its interpretation as 'the wished-for one'. Tahtyana is often spelled alternatively as Tatyana or Tatiana, and has been popularized by historical figures such as Empress Maria Feodorovna, originally Princess Dagmar of Denmark, who became known as Tatiana in Russia.
The name Tahytanya had ten newborns across two years, with an equal distribution of five births each year between 1998 and 1999.
