Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'Titan' combined with the feminine suffix '-ia', originally coined by Ovid in his Metamorphoses as an epithet for female descendants of the Titans, such as Diana or Latona. William Shakespeare later adopted the name in his late 16th-century play A Midsummer Night's Dream to designate the queen of the fairies, from whom modern astronomical and chemical usages derive.
