Tanya is the
Slavichypocoristic of
Tatiana. It is commonly used as an independent
given name in the
English-speaking world.[1] The name's popularity among English-speakers (and other non-Slavs) was originally due to the popularity of
Alexander Pushkin's verse novel Eugene Onegin, whose heroine is named Tatiana "Tanya" Larina (who is rarely named by the short name in the poem). Some people also claim that the popularity of "Tanya" in Anglophone world is due to Ukrainian emigrees to Canada, who escaped Ukraine during the Civil War of 1918-20.
