History & Origin

Tiaa is a decorative spelling of Tia, a name that works as a short form of Tiana and Tatiana and doubles as Spanish for 'aunt.' This spelling is one of the era's many attempts to make a familiar short name feel individual.

It barely registered, given to only a small handful of girls across the mid-1970s before vanishing. That brief flicker makes it one of the rarest spellings in its cohort.

Did you know? Tiaa adds a second a to Tia purely for looks, a small flourish typical of the creative spellings that flourished in its decade.
