Meaning & Origin

From Shakespeare's play A Midsummer-Night's Dream, the queen of the fairies.

Titania is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, a name coined by Shakespeare for his 1595 play A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Titania is the queen of the fairies. The name derives from the Latin Titania, meaning 'daughter of the Titans,' connecting the fairy queen to the great forces of ancient mythology.

Titania is one of Shakespeare's most magical creations — a figure of beauty, power, and enchantment who rules the fairy realm with a combination of dignity and caprice. As a given name, it carries the full luminous weight of Midsummer's moonlit magic.

EtymologyShow more

In the American context, Titania is a girl's name with several decades of recorded use (1963–2020). Its Latin roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.

Though no longer in the top 1,000, Titania’s 538 recorded births mean it has left a mark. Every name carries the accumulated identity of the people who have worn it — and Titania has decades of that history.
