Tijan

Tijan is a Slovene masculine given name derived from the Latin Titus, itself of uncertain but possibly Oscan or Etruscan origin, with some scholars connecting it to a root meaning defender or honoured. The name entered Slovene naming tradition as a localized form alongside related Slavic and Latin-influenced variants in the region. Closely related forms include Tit and Tite, the direct Slovene adaptations of Titus, as well as the widespread Tito found across other South Slavic languages.
