| 134.1 | sasha or katya | PMRV70::SCHARTNER | | Wed Sep 30 1987 15:53 | 4 |
| how about "Sasha Rose"? Sasha is Russian for Alexandra, which is
Greek for "helper of mankind".
Or "Katya Rose". Katya is Russian for Catherine (the "pure")

| 134.3 | What goes with Rose?? | 7986::BOGATY | | Tue Oct 13 1987 08:03 | 17 |

Thanks to .1 and .2 for your ideas! The jury's still out...
BTW, Carol, any idea on what Tanya means? Our book says "meaning
unknown". (Unless Tanya *means* "meaning unknown"!!??)
How 'bout names of *any* origin that go with Rose as a middle
name?? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan.
(Skeptic that I am, I'm still not convinced we won't welcome a
"he" or a "them", despite chromosomal & ultrasound evidence of
a single "she". But that's another topic...)

| 134.5 | TATJANA | UTROP2::LOTTUM_T | | Wed May 03 1989 05:14 | 14 |
| Hello there,
Just discovered this conference and ofcourse looked for my own
name rightaway. And behold! here it is.
My name is Tatjana. I never knew what it meant, I knew though it
is a Slavic name seeing my mother is Yugoslavian (my father is
Dutch). When I was little, I was called Tanja. Tanja is fairly
common here in Holland. Tatjana isn't.
If anybody else knows more about the origin of this name, I would
love to know. The meaning of Tatjana so far, I like.
Bye
Tatjana

| Tatjana is probably from the Russian Tatiana. This is the
feminine of Tatianus and is from the name of a king of the
Sabines, Titus Tatius. Not sure what either of these means.
Tanya is the pet form of Tatiana -- and is much more common
than the full form.

| 134.7 | first-hand info on Slavic names | UTROP2::LOTTUM_T | | Tue May 09 1989 06:34 | 15 |
| Cliff,
Thanks for the info.
About the spelling, I've seen both Tanja and Tatjana been written
several ways. This probably depends on what country you're in.
In Holland we (mostly) write: Tatjana / Tanja
But I've seen Tatiana - Tania, Tatyana - Tanya
Anyway, I'll be visiting Jugoslavia this mounth, and I'll see what
the people there can tell me. I'll try and pick up a book there
on names, for anyone who's interested in Slavic names.
Bye
Tatjana
