History & Origin

Tiah is an elaborated spelling of Tia, from the Spanish tia, 'aunt', a warm family word that became a given name; it also works as a short form of names ending in -tia, such as Cynthia. The added h is purely decorative and does not change the sound.

Tiah was always a minor spelling, borne by only a few dozen girls a year with a faint peak around 1980 and scattered use since. Tia carried most of the name's use.

Did you know? Tia grew from the affectionate Spanish word for 'aunt' into a stand-alone first name, and spellings like Tiah added a soft final h in the 1970s and 80s taste for the ending.
