Tía Origin and Meaning

The name Tía is a girl's name.

Tía is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Spanish, it literally means "aunt," deriving from the Latin "thia." However, as a given name, it's often used independently of this meaning. Tía may also be a shortened form of names like Celestia or Portia. The accent mark indicates stress on the 'i', creating the pronunciation "TEE-ah" rather than "tie-ah."

Its brevity gives it a modern feel, while the accent adds a distinctive touch. Tía offers a cross-cultural appeal, feeling both familiar and unique across different language backgrounds.
