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

Anyways that's it.

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.

HI'my name Taina I live in Chicago IL,I am 10 years old. I was named by my 20 year old brother after a tv from the 90's on nick. When I was little I hated the name.But after I got older I love it.I still get mad when'they mock my name or pronounce it wrong.I also love it because of the Taino Indians . I think you should love your name no matter what it is .

my name is taina and so many people say and spell it wrong for example they spell it like this tyena and this tiana lots of people say my name is nice and different and everytime people say my name they say it right but spell it wrong or people will spell it right but say it wrong but i still love my name

Strongly like the names TAINA and TAINO. But what exactly do they mean❤️❤️❤️ Read once that Taino meant brave spirit. So off of that alone i fell in love with the name!! Anyone heard any different meanings❤️

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.

HI'my name is Taina and I don't really like my name

My name is Tainah (Ta-i-naH open A) here in Brazil it means Star or the first ray of the'sun! I love my name too!

Taina is my daughter's name. I love this name because it is a part of our ancestors and I think we should always remember where we came from. I have experienced people spelling it wrong and saying it wrong as well, but that is ok. The meaning of this name will always be the'same.

It's okay, It's original but everyone pronounces tina for about 100 times before getting it through their skulls that It's TAINA rhymes with CHINA

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.

taina is my name'so a lot of people spell it wrong.my name is said taena,but spelled like t a i n a.

My daughters name is Ta❤️na, because of the Ta❤️no Indians from Puerto Rico. It means good or noble.

I admit i learned to love my name as i grew older, knowing it came from my ancestors the puerto rican'taino indians. people say i look like an indian and the name matches beautifully.

I know a puerto ricanwoman who's name is Taina but its spelled TAYEENA. i think it looks prettier that way.

My name is Taina and I was named after the Taino Indians. I am 32 years old and growing up, people always pronounced my name incorrectly, from Ty-na, tay-na, Teena. Recently, however, I have found as the popularity of my name grows, pronounciation is not so bad, Ty-ee-na. My family roots originate from Puerto Rico.

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.

My daughter's name is Taina. I love this name because being of Puerto Rican background, it does have It's history of our Tainos. Yes people misspell and mispronounce it all the time.
