From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tatnai
      gift, a Persian governor (Heb. pehah, i.e., "satrap;" modern
      "pasha") "on this side the river", i.e., of the whole tract on
      the west of the Euphrates. This Hebrew title _pehah_ is given to
      governors of provinces generally. It is given to Nehemiah (5:14)
      and to Zerubbabel (Hag. 1:1). It is sometimes translated
      "captain" (1 Kings 20:24; Dan. 3:2, 3), sometimes also "deputy"
      (Esther 8:9; 9:3). With others, Tatnai opposed the rebuilding of
      the temple (Ezra 5:6); but at the command of Darius, he assisted
      the Jews (6:1-13).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Tatnai, that gives; the overseer of the gifts and tributes
