History & Origin

Tynia respells the Tania/Tanya sound, the affectionate short forms of the Russian Tatiana. Tatiana itself comes from the old Roman name Tatius, and its diminutives became fashionable American girls' names, spawning a range of inventive spellings of which Tynia is one.

It stayed uncommon, running at a few dozen girls a year and actually reaching its faint high point relatively late, around 2004. Tynia reads as a personal respelling within the Tanya family rather than an established name, and it has stayed a rarity.

Did you know? Tynia is one of many creative American spellings of Tanya - Tynia, Tonya, Tawnya - all reaching back to the Russian Tatiana, which entered US naming in a big way at mid-century.
