How often does the letter r occur in:
My sisters name is Tatjana, we all call her Tanja. I know that Tatjana is Russian name, but does everyone know something more about this name?
I only know it came from Greek and means appointed
ТАТЬЯНА, -ы, ж.; стар. Татиана, -ы.
Производные: Татьянка; Таня; Танюха; Танюша; Танюра; Танюся; Танюта; Тата; Татуля; Татуня; Татуся; Туся; Таша.
If you believe that a name can have an influence on persons character and fate, youd probably find this article interesting: Тайна имени Татьяна
Татьяна упряма, властна, целеустремленна, не терпит возражений, порой деспотична. Это очень эмоциональный, артистичный человек с огромным обаянием. Эгоцентрична, не сентиментальна.
Does you sister fit this definition?
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.
Belgrade is one of the oldest European cities, whose history has lasted for more than 7000 years. During its and tumultuous history, Belgrade has been conquered by 40 armies, and 38 times it has been raised up from the ashes.
Dhz, Tatiana is not a Greek name, it is a Slavic name. Sorry, I don’t know about its origin.
I understood, but as I know the name Tatiana has no Greek roots. They are Greek women with this name today, but its origin is Slavic.
This name has no Slavic roots either. The only word that is close to it is obsolete word тать. But the meaning of this word is not good and it hardly has any relation to the name.
Oh, come on, lets settle it down. If you all had been more attentive, you would have found that Triton has told us some legible information for this name. Look at the post of his.
Rtyom, if you had been more attentive, you would have found that Ive responsed to Греческо statement that its origin is Slavic. Tritons post is good but its just versions. One guess is as good as anothers.
I didnt mean youre not right or something. I pointed humbly at the things written posts ago.
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?
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.
And in Greek orthodox tradition there is no ST. Tatiana, and I dont think it is in Russian either.
What I was quite sure about was she was not Greek. The names origin must be Latin then .
