Titius was born in Konitz (Chojnice), Royal Prussia (a fief of the Crown of Poland) to Jakob Tietz, a merchant and council member from Konitz, and Maria Dorothea, née Hanow.
His original name was Johann Tietz, but as was customary in the 18th century, when he became a university professor, he Latinized his surname to Titius.
Tietz attended school in Danzig (Gdańsk) and studied at the University of Leipzig (1749–1752).He died in Wittenberg, Electorate of Saxony.
