History & Origin
Tantania is an invented name with no traceable root; its ear-catching four syllables recall Titania and the mid-century favorite Tanya. It surfaced briefly in United States records around 1990, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high, and it never approached common use.
A girl named Tantania from the early nineties is in her thirties now. With no clear origin, it reads as a one-of-a-kind invented name of its moment rather than any revival, and it is flagged here as an opaque coinage rather than padded with a made-up meaning.
