Tenneh is a feminine name with Native American origins. A variant of T’enneh, it can come from the Dakelh word meaning “the people,” and can connect baby to the First Nation group, Lheidli T'enneh. If you’re looking to celebrate your little one’s indigenous roots, this can do the job. Tenneh can also act as a spin on medieval English name Tenney, which was used back in the day as a nickname for the Greek moniker Dennis.
