Due to the many emails, I have decided to create this page just for the name.

The name "Tahnee" originates from the Native American tribe, Comanche. More info is on the way! (A HUGE THANKS TO TAHNEE WUYTS!)

• "Tahnee" supposedly translates into "Princess" in an Indian language, although I"m not sure which one.
• A possible root of the name is derived from "Titania", from which the Ti- was taken away for Tania, which then changed into Tani; the spelling was eventually further evolved into "Tahnee".
• According to this, the name "Tahnee Mara" was referenced to in a movie, Chisum, and was given the definition of "lonely wind". However, script writers likely did not research the real definition, and that definition has already been disproven in Comanche or Apache. The name "Tahnee" by itself was also given the possible translations "wind", "desire" or "longing" but have also not been proven.

These are other possible translations of the name that have been sent to me.
