What does Franca and Tatiana mean?

Question

I would like to know their meaning if they have any and what is their origine, where do they come from?

Answer 1

Franca is the Italian female form of "frank" which is a Germanic word meaning "free"
Tatiana is a Russian name and is generally taken to be a form of Diana, the Greek moon goddess.

Answer 2

Try a few different search engines - I know there are a lot of sites doing this sort of thing and they don't always agree.

I think that Franca means french as it's french in spannish, short for Francisca , related to Francis and this basically meant frenchman. But it has all sorts of nice overtones of frankness in modern day english and projects a nice warm direct and open feeling.

Tatiana I thought might be related to Titiana / Titian = redhead. But it seems more likely that it's from some old roman emperor Tatianus.

Best of luck Mike
