History & Origin

Tannor respells Tanner, an English occupational surname for a tanner of leather, with an -or ending shaped by the popular Connor. Both parent names rode the surname-as-first-name trend of the later twentieth century; Tannor is a rarer blend of the two, valued for its sturdy modern sound.

It appeared around 1991, held a faint high point around 1997, and remained rare while Tanner and Connor flourished. A Tannor today is most likely a millennial; the spelling is a personal variant of two popular surname-names.

Did you know? Tanner and Connor were both fashionable surname-names for boys in the nineteen-nineties; Tannor splices the two, keeping Tanner's trade meaning while borrowing Connor's -or ending, and it stayed rare beside both.
