Comment left Jun 13, 2007: "I named my daughter Taina after the indigenous Tainos Indians. I believe it means fairy princess. It was really important for me to name my daughter after her ancestors. This is a way of her knowing who she really is and that she comes from so much more than just a city, place, race, or color. I named her not knowing what she would look like. She truely looks like an Indian. Straight black hair, dark eyes and dark-red skin. Her personality is even Indian like. She soaks in the earth and everything in it and releases it through her energy." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 12, 2007: "My name is Taina and people always mispronounce and mispell it too. After a while it doesn't bother me anymore. The actual meaning derives from the Taino indians, which descended from the caribbean islands. They were an indian tribe but the were eventually mostly killed off by the Eurpoeans when they came over from Eurpoe on there discovery of the "New World" that already existed and had a way of life already. The orginally meaning of Taino is peace. When Christopher Columbus came over to the island the chief met him and said "taino" meaning peace. The orginal tribe name was the Arawaq indians. So there you go, Taina and it's history." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Apr 25, 2006: "My father named me Taina. He 'made it up'. My mom wanted to call me Tania and he wanted to call me Titania from the fairy queen in the Shakespere play "midsummer nights dream"....so they combined the sounds and created "Taina", said with the 'ai' as a long 'a' vowel. Later, my father found an article in the newspaper about this indian from South America who had this name and it had an actual meaning "Morning Light". A lady from Finland told me that it is a common name there.
L,
Taina" (Report as inappropriate)
