Tya is a proper noun that can refer to several distinct uses in different languages and regions. As a given name, Tya is used in some cultures as a short form or independent name. Its origin and meaning vary; in some cases it may be a diminutive of longer names, while in others it functions as a standalone appellation. The name is used for individuals across various professions and does not imply a specific ethnic or linguistic background.

In geography, Tya appears as a toponym in multiple places. It may designate rivers, settlements, or districts, with each occurrence derived from local linguistic roots. Because the spelling overlaps with other similar names in different languages, there is no single, universal origin for geographic uses of Tya.

In culture and media, Tya is occasionally used as a character name in literature, film, or video games. When employed in fiction, it often serves as a short, easily memorable given name.

Notable people named Tya include individuals in sports, arts, and academia, among others. As with many short given names, the bearer’s background can be diverse and does not indicate any one lineage.
