It debuted on the US Top 1000 in 2016.

- Tamzin
Origin:
Variation of Tamsin, Cornish, EnglishMeaning:
"twin"Description:
A feminine form of Thomas that originated in Cornwall, this spelling might appeal to those who dislike the substring of sin at the end of the more familiar Tamsin, or to those who enjoy the spikiness of the letter Z. Borne by actresses Tamzin Outhwaite, Tamzin Malleson and Tamzin Merchant, it was a popular choice in the UK in the early 2000s, when it outranked Tamsin.
- Tanzy
Description:
Tanzy is a whimsical feminine name that likely derives from the herb tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), a flowering plant historically used in cooking and traditional medicine. This connection gives the name a natural, botanical quality similar to names like Daisy or Rosemary. The playful 'z' sound and the 'y' ending create a contemporary feel while maintaining links to the tradition of floral and herbal names for girls. Tanzy remains quite rare in usage, appearing only occasionally in English-speaking countries. The name's uniqueness offers distinctiveness while still being easily pronounced and spelled. Its herbal origins might appeal to parents drawn to nature-inspired names that carry subtle historical connections but sound fresh and modern to contemporary ears.
