History & Origin

Tiajuana is an American coinage that joins Tia, Spanish for 'aunt', to Juana, the feminine of Juan meaning 'God is gracious', producing a name that sounds like the city of Tijuana. It appears in United States records in the 1950s and peaked around 1974, always rare.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its height, so a Tiajuana from that time would be in her fifties today. It reads as a period place-echo coinage rather than a revival, with the simpler Juana as its traditional relative.

Did you know? Tiajuana chimes with the border city of Tijuana while breaking down into the Spanish words Tia and Juana.
