My father named me Taina. He 'made it up'. My mom wanted to call me Tania and he wanted to call me Titania from the fairy queen in the'shakespere play "midsummer nights dream"....so they combined the'sounds and created "Taina", said with the 'ai' as a long 'a' vowel. Later, my father found an article in the newspaper about this indian from South America who had this name and it had an actual meaning "Morning Light". A lady from Finland told me that it is a common name there. L, Taina

My name is Taina, 30 years old and I'm living in Finland. Name is very rare within girls on my age. Most women with Taina name is older or very old, even from last decade. I'm very proud about this name. Taina means in Russian "secret". I know couple songs that tells about girl who's name is Taina. In these songs Taina is very happy and beautiful. i've found out that people very often spell my name like "diana" or "tania". I hate people who call me Tanja by mistake.

I have loved this name for the longest time. I am currently pregnant and my husband and I plan on calling her Taina after our indeginous ancestors (I am Puerto Rican and he is Dominican). They were called the Taino (pronounced Tie-EE-no). I know she may have a hard time with people pronouncing and spelling it wrong, but hopefully we can'teach her enough about her roots to help her love her name, anyway.

I named my daughter Taina after the indigenous Tainos Indians. I beli've it means fairy princess. It was really important for me to name my daughter after her ancestors. This is a way of her knowing who she really is and that'she comes from so much more than just a city, place, race, or color. I named her not knowing what she would look like. She truely looks like an Indian. Straight black hair, dark eyes and dark-red skin. Her personality is even Indian like. She'soaks in the earth and everything in it and releases it through her energy.

My daughter's name is Taina. I am Puerto Rican and my husband is African American. My husband has 2 boys and they both have his initials T.J.P. No one has her middle name because which is Jevona❤️. Yes i've searched. My husbands middle name is Jevon. Puerto Rican's are of Taino Indian decent, the'spaniards brought slaves with them and killed the Tainos and enslaved them as well as raped them. I know It'sounds crazy to name my daughter Taina. But I feel like that history, the culture, traditions and food aren't passed down. I want my daughter to know where she comes from, I'm teaching her'spanish as well. She's only 2 and is bilingual. She doesnt look mixed so as far as the jon force i feel that'she'll have an advantage. People misspell and mispronounce it all the time Tiana, Thalia and Taynah. ALL IN ALL its a beautiful name with lots of history. Taina also means feminine and It's an abbreviated version of Tatianna.

In the Cook Islands Maori language, "Taina" (pronounced Ty-nah) is the name of a fragrant gardenia flower used commonly in decorations and eI'making (flower necklaces). It is a common name used only for women. "Teina" (pronounced similar to Dana in English) on the other hand, means little brother or little sister. It is also a common name used in the Cook Islands for both genders.

My name is Taina and people always mispronounce and mispell it too. After a while it doesn't bother me anymore. The actual meaning derives from the Taino indians, which descended from the caribbean islands. They were an indian tribe but the were eventually mostly killed off by the Eurpoeans when'they came over from Eurpoe on there discovery of the "New World" that already existed and had a way of life already. The orginally meaning of Taino is peace. When Christopher Columbus came over to the island the chief met him and said "taino" meaning peace. The orginal tribe name was the Arawaq indians. So there you go, Taina and It's history.
