Tia is a girl’s name of Spanish and Portuguese origins, meaning “aunt.” Also having roots in Greek, this delightful name means “goddess,” with many using Tia as a variation of Theia. The Greek Titan goddess of sight and the blue sky was named Theia, who birthed the sun, moon, and dawn. A truly otherworldly and venerable title, Tia is also the name of the Native American goddess of peaceful death in Haida mythology. This endearing moniker is the short form of names like Christiana and Tiana in Spanish and Portuguese. However, it firmly holds itself as a beautiful and independent name! Tia appears in the baby name charts in England, Croatia, and Slovenia and will undoubtedly appeal to the joyful soul in baby.
