The Romans having met with the Sabines, Tatius remained in use in Ancient Rome and during the first centuries of Christianity, as well as its diminutive Tatianus and the feminine Tatiana.
Il then disappeared in Western Europe, but remained in the hellenic world, and later in the orthodox world, including Russia.
The name honors Orthodox Saint Tatiana who was tortured and martyred in the persecutions of Emperor Alexander Severus c.230 in Rome. Saint Tatiana is also considered a patron saint of students. Hence, Tatiana Day is now an official school holiday for students in Russia.

The character of Tatiana Larina inspired the names of two Romanovs: Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna of Russia and her distant cousin Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia.
