Tayanna

Meaning of Tayanna

Tayanna stands as a meticulously coined feminine given name, arising from the interplay of the English prefix Tay—evocative of the occupational surname Taylor—and the time-honored Latin-Hebrew element Anna, signifying “grace”; this morphological fusion weaves a linguistic tapestry that is simultaneously innovative and suffused with classical resonance. Emblematic of the syncretic dynamics evident in contemporary Latin-influenced naming practices, Tayanna has appeared sporadically in U.S. Social Security records since the mid-1980s, exhibiting a gradual upward trajectory and achieving twelve recorded births (ranked 938th) in 2024, its highest frequency to date. Pronounced /teɪˈanə/, it adheres to English phonotactic conventions while maintaining a sonorous cadence reminiscent of Romance prosody, thereby appealing to parents who seek both academic depth and cultural nuance.
