The pronunciation is: tie-ee-NAH. There's a certain emphasis on the "na".
As for being also found in Tupi, notice that here "Taina" has no accent, while in Tupi language it has a tilde: "Tainã", a word for stars and the brightest of all them is, according to legend, "Tainá-can". Again, notice the accent. Here "Taina" is a variation of "Tatiana" and can be used as name or just as a shorter/an affectionate nickname. Another version of "Taina" is "Tainara".

I am a Proud Taino with Boriken (Puerto Rican) blood. I named my daughter TAINA (TÄ'ee'NÄ) after our people, The Taíno, who were an Arawak people who were one of the major indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. They were the principal inhabitants of most of Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico in the Greater Antilles, the northern Lesser Antilles, and the Bahamas. So I hope this helps...
