Tatyana (Russian: Татьяна; sometimes romanized as Tatiana, Tatianna, Tatjuana Tatijana, and Tateyanna) is a Slavic female name derived from the Roman name Tatianus, which was derived from the Roman clan name Tatius. Titus Tatius was a king. The short form of the name is Tanya (Russian: Таня). The name can affectionately be abbreviated to Tanyushka, Tanechka, Tat'yanka, etc.
The name honours Orthodox Saint Tatiana (Святая Татьяна, Svyataya Tat'yana) who was tortured and martyred in the persecutions of Emperor Alexander Severus c.230 in Rome. Saint Tatiana is also considered a patron saint of students. Hence, Tatiana Day is now an official school holiday for students in Russia.
