Tienan Origin and Meaning

The name Tienan is a boy's name.

Tienan is a masculine name with multiple potential origins. In Chinese contexts, it could derive from elements meaning 'heaven' or 'sky' (tian) combined with peace or safety (an), though the meaning varies depending on the specific Chinese characters used. Alternatively, it may be an Anglicized form of the Irish name Tiernan, derived from 'tighearna' meaning 'lord' or 'master.' The name remains relatively uncommon in Western countries but has gained some limited use in recent decades as parents seek names with international appeal. Tienan has a melodic quality and distinctive sound that sets it apart while remaining relatively straightforward to pronounce.
