Tangi is a distinctive masculine name with multicultural roots. In Māori culture, it relates to 'tangi' or 'tangihanga,' referring to funeral rites or expressions of grief. However, the name also appears in Breton (a Celtic language from northwestern France), where it's a diminutive of names like Tanguy, meaning 'fire dog' or 'worthy of fire.' This dual heritage gives Tangi rich cultural significance. The name's brevity and melodic quality make it accessible across language boundaries, while its uncommon status offers individuality. With rising interest in names from indigenous cultures and compact international names, Tangi may appeal to parents seeking something meaningful yet distinctive for their son.
