Tiana

In The Princess and the Frog, Tiana was a young waitress who dreamed of owning her own restaurant someday. While catering a party for Charlotte La Bouff, she encountered Prince Naveen, who had been turned into a frog by a witch doctor. Naveen convinced her to kiss him, thinking that she was a princess and it would break the spell, but instead it turned her into a frog too. They traveled through the bayou to find Mama Odie for help. She told them that a kiss from a princess before midnight could break the spell. Since Charlotte's father was the King of the Mardi Gras parade, she was technically a princess for the day. They were unable to get to Charlotte in time, and remained frogs. Tiana and Naveen fell in love, and were married. When Naveen kissed his bride, Tiana, now a princess, broke the spell. Together, they opened Tiana's dream restaurant.

Tiana is a short form of Tatiana, which comes from the Roman family name Tatius. In 2014, Tiana was the 554th most popular name for girls.
