Taņa/Tatjana
The name is in diminutive form, the usual full name is Tatjana.
But, who knows, in American English the name "Tanya" also is used, as far as I am aware.
The more information you give, the better - that's regarding the full name, original, etc. in brackets.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for this answer. The person in question here is of British origins, originally Tanya, so think Tania will sound better. In any case, since it is a legal document, original names are left in brackets in this case. Thanks again. |
