History & Origin

Tanzie is a spelling of Tansy, a flower name drawn through Old French from the Greek athanasia, immortality, so called for the plant's long-lasting blooms. It has sometimes doubled as a pet form of Anastasia, which shares that root. Tanzie appeared thinly across the twentieth century, a countryish, old-fashioned choice.

Tanzie was rare across a long, scattered run, reaching only about twenty girls a year at its high point around nineteen seventy, with use both earlier and later. A girl named Tanzie at that peak would be in her mid fifties today.

Did you know? Behind the humble Tansy flower lies the Greek word athanasia, immortality, a meaning that gives the cheerful yellow bloom, and the name Tanzie, a surprising depth.
