Tammany

More a place name than a newborn's name, Tammany has current ties to the New Jersey-Pennsylvania peak Mount Tammany and St. Tammany Parish in Louisiana. Tammany originated as another name for Tamanend, a Native American chief of the Lenni-Lenape nation in the seventeenth century.

Its connections to the dated Tammy could be seen as a positive or a negative. Some might view this as a fresh way to bring Tammy into the twenty-first century, while others will surely see the relation as the deciding factor that makes it unwearable.

Pronounced TAM-uh-nee.

As of October 2026, Tammany ranked #6507 for girls in US births in 1963 SSA.
