Tawnya

Tawnya is an English feminine name functioning as a spelling variant of Tanya, which itself derives from the Russian short form of Tatiana. Tatiana traces back to the Latin family name Tatianus, connected to the Roman name Tatius, of uncertain but possibly Sabine origin. The name gained wide use in English-speaking countries during the twentieth century partly through the popularity of Tanya. Related forms include Tanya, Tania, Tonya, and Tatiana.
