Tarnia is one of those worldly names that has roots in languages and cultures all over the world. In Russian, Tarnia is a diminutive of the popular name Tatiana and means “rocky hill.” In Scandinavian languages, it is a variation of Tarne, meaning “lake in the mountains,” and in Australia, it takes the meaning “salty waters.” A title that seems to have traveled, it makes perfect sense that it would describe the everchanging landscapes. Tarnia has a fantastical feel to it, reminiscent of your favorite childhood fantasy novel.
