Tany

Tany is a proper noun used as a given name and surname, and occasionally as a place name. It is less common than its closely related spellings such as Tanya or Tania, and it may appear in various linguistic communities as a variant spelling or nickname.

As a given name, Tany can function as a standalone form or as a nickname for longer names like Tanya, Tania, or Tatiana. In some contexts, particularly within Portuguese-speaking communities, it may be used as an informal form of Tânia. The etymology of Tany generally mirrors that of Tanya/Tania, with roots tied to the feminine given name Tatiana in many traditions, though usage and pronunciation vary by culture.

There are no widely recognized subjects—such as a prominent person, location, or organization—solely identified by the name Tany in major reference works. The term is primarily encountered as a personal name or a variant spelling, and any particular reference to Tany should be disambiguated by context (for example, identifying the person’s full name or the place’s location).
