i think you might mean "taino". Perhaps they said "Taina" in reference to a girl.

Anyhow, Taino/a means a person from the Dominican Republic.

The original inhabitants of the land were a group of people called "Tainos". Sometimes Dominicans will refer to the Dominican Republic as "Quisqueya", the original name of the land when the Tainos inhabited the land

"Taína" means (female Taino), from an Indigenous people known as (Arawak people) they were mostly found to inhabit Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. They originally traveled through south America.
