History & Origin

Tannah is a short, modern coinage that stayed uncommon throughout. Its quiet high came around 2000, when -ah names were at their most fashionable.

It was given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, so it never became common. It reads as a fresh, on-trend respelling rather than a traditional name.

Did you know? The tidy -ah ending was a hallmark of turn-of-the-century American girls' names, from Hannah and Savannah to Aliyah, and Tannah rides that same current.
