    Could be. Lots of Pontics with russian names came after the USSR collapsed.

    The family name of the woman who I know named Tatiana is, I believe, Pontian: Theoharidis.

    The Russian version has become more common in all Romance-speaking countries than the native Romance versions (Taciana, Taziana, Tatienne, etc).

    Not very saintly, but she did start the christianisation of the Rus, albeit under the threat of byzantine arms. A byzantine princess was also named after her later.
