Tana

As a girl's name, Tana is understood to mean "Uncertain shortened form". It had its heyday in the 1960s and has mostly fallen out of use since. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
