[От лат. Tatius — имя сабинского царя или от греч. tatto — устанавливать, определять, назначать.]
†25 янв., 3 окт.
Does you sister fit this definition? ;)Quote:
Татьяна упряма, властна, целеустремленна, не терпит возражений, порой деспотична. Это очень эмоциональный, артистичный человек с огромным обаянием. Эгоцентрична, не сентиментальна.
zdravo Невена,
Can I ask you what these sentences mean?
"Белград - один из древнейших городов Европы, история которого продолжается полных 7000 лет. В бурном прошлом, Белград завоевывало 40 армий, и 38 раз он был отстроен заново из пепла."
hvala lepa

I would like to thank everybody on their posts
Dhz, Tatiana is not a Greek name, it is a Slavic name. Sorry, I don’t know about its origin.
According to Twelve Stories from Russia, Tatyana is one of the five russian names for girls. =:^)
I didn't say it's Greek, I said it came from Greek language (maybe ancient Greek, I don't know). That's what I've read, as we say "за что купил, за то и продаю" =)Quote:

I didn't mean you're not right or something. I pointed humbly at the things written posts ago.
It's not worth arguing...
Hm, all this is kinda tricky... But then maybe it was really the female form of the Latin name Tatius just as the dictionary tells.
Греческо, is there a word like "tatto" in Greek?
Btw, does anybody know where had St. Tatiana lived? Greece? :roll:
No, there is not a word like ''tatto'' in Greek. What similar to this comes to my mind is ''tafto'' which is a form of the word 'this' in ancient Greek.Quote:

sorry, i can't read this with no smile))
What I was quite sure about was she was not Greek. The name's origin must be Latin then :D .Quote:
