- Because ティアナ is written in katakana, it can be read as a name from any culture, but in Japan, it is most strongly associated with the Disney Princess Tiana.
- The small ィ in ティ is used to create a 'ti' sound, as standard Japanese syllables typically turn 'ti' into 'chi' (ち).
- If a Japanese person were to write this name using kanji, they would have to choose characters based on sound rather than meaning, a process called 'ateji'.
