'Titania'... May I be forgiven for wanting her name to be spelled as 'Tatiana'? See, I so love to pronounce it, with the emphasis on the first syllable. TAT-i-ana. :-)

OK, I know. That's not how Shakespeare spelled it. {And down below, tells that the origin of the name is uncertain} But Ovid used it, earlier. Soooo, I know, I have no *right* to change it. Just 'cause I like the sound.

But I can make up my own name! And pronounce it, however I want. :-)))

"Titania represents Classical mythology in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Like Oberon she is a nature deity. She tells Bottom this in Act III scene 1, when she informs him that "I am a sprit of no common rate. / The summer still doth tend upon my state," Her power over nature is also reflected in the disruptions in weather patterns in Act II scene 1, caused by her argument with Oberon.
*
The derivation of her name is uncertain. Ovid used it in Metamorphoses (iii, 173) as a epithet of Diana and later of Latona and Circe. However, this did not appear in the translation available to Shakespeare. Either he read it in the original, or his use of the name is a coincidence.
*
Another possible derivation is from the Titans of Greek mythology."
