History & Origin
Tannia shadowed a popular name. As Tanya and Tania spread through the late twentieth century, this doubled-n spelling took a small share and reached its slim high around 1993.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and it eased off by the twenty-tens. A girl named Tannia at that peak would be about thirty today. The spelling reads as a personal take on Tania.
