I had a random inclination to research names today, and, of course, my own name was one of the ones that I decided to look up. My mom always told me that my name meant "princess" in Greek and "aunt" in Spanish, but I never actually looked that up to see if it was accurate.
After looking through several baby name websites and taking a funny survey on how I felt about being named Tia, I found one site that intrigued me: http://www.behindthename.com/
The page I found and read first was a page that contained the comments other people had posted about what they thought and had researched about the name Tia. I found it interesting to note that my name not only means "princess" in Greek, but it also means "princess" in Egyptian, and it is also a Japanese name derived from the word, Tenshi, meaning "angel." Some of the other comments were negative, or negative, yet funny, or just funny, or random.
The link for this particular page is:
