Tammany is a masculine name with Native American roots. A variant of Tamanend, this name can connect baby to the iconic chief indigenous group, the Lenni Lenape, who resided in present-day Delaware. In the 17th century, Tamanend advocated for peace and notably signed a peace treaty with William Penn. If you want to encourage baby’s interest in history—and their potential to be a benevolent leader—Tammany packs plenty of character.
