Tania by the numbers

In 2025, 11 babies in England and Wales were named Tania. In the US, 186 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.

For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.

Its American peak was 846 babies in 1993, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
