Tetyana a Name and Its Origin, Lets Find Out More About This Name and Its Use Through History

Finding the roots of this name is not easy and we have to go through the literature through the path of Tanya or Tatiana, or even Tatyana.

Tatiana is a feminine form of the Roman name Tatianus, which is from the Roman name Tatius, which again is of unknown meaning. This was the name of an early saint and martyr.

Other sources tells us that Tatyana or Tetyana is from from the old Greek word meaning "organizer", "founder".

Tetiana, Tania has the name day of January 12. In order to see what significance this day has had through history I give a list of some historic moments of January 12th. When it comes to the dday, we have to look into the differences between the Gregorian and Julian calendar, which has 13 days difference.

Tatiana Day is a Russian religious holiday observed on January 25 according to the Gregorian calendar, January 12 according to the Julian. It is named after Saint Tatiana, a Christian martyr in 2nd century Rome during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus.

In 1755 on the name day of Ivan Shuvalov's mother Tatiana Rodionovna, his mistress Empress Elizabeth of Russia endorsed his petition to establish a university in Moscow. The church of Saint Tatiana was later built in the university campus, the Russian Orthodox Church declared Saint Tatiana the patron saint of students, and Tatiana Day has become celebrated as

Tatiana is a Slavic female name. In Russian it is written /???????/. Alternative spellings in the Roman alphabet include Tatyana, Tatianna, and Tatjana. The short form of the name is Tanya (in Russian: ????). The name can affectionately be abbreviated to Tanyshka, Tanechka, Tat'yanka, etc.

The name honours Orthodox Saint Tatiana (?????? ???????, 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.
