Re: need to know the meaning of milena and tanya?????
in reply to a message by tanya
I have heard of several different meanings for Tanya. The first is 'fairy queen' - Russian. The main other is Greek and is 'sun', another is Latin I think and is 'centre' or 'great'. Definately better than fairy princess!Has some connection with italian too from this: Feminine form of the Roman name Tatianus, which was from the Roman name Tatius, which is of unknown meaning. Several early saints bore this name.and apparently can mean 'silver-haired'.
