Help[Opinions] Re: It does come from Tiana (m)
in reply to a message by Amphelise
In the other thread she wrote this:
A "tiarna" (Irish), or "tighearna" (Scottish), both from the Old Irish "tigerna", is a lord in the Gaelic world and languages.
So it is an Irish word apparently. From which Tierney evolved.

The thing is that the Irish word tiarna is pronounced TEER-nuh, not tee-AHN-uh. It wouldn’t make any linguistic sense for Tiarne (tee-AHN) to come from a masculine Irish word that is pronounced completely differently, rather than just being an alternative spelling of a nearly identical, fairly popular girls’ name.

Yes, that is true!
