Tannit is in Origin.

Tannit is a modern spelling of the Punic theonym Tanit/Tinnit (Phoenician-Punic TNT), a feminine name from the Carthaginian pantheon. Its exact meaning is uncertain: one common proposal interprets it as “she of Neith,” linking the Punic feminine marker t- to the Egyptian goddess Neith; others regard it as an opaque Semitic or Berber theonym with no secure translation.

Tanit was the chief goddess of Carthage, consort of Baal Hammon, associated with fertility, protection, and the heavens. Her cult spread across the western Mediterranean - from present-day Tunisia to Sardinia, Malta, Sicily, and Ibiza - and under Rome she was identified with Juno Caelestis. As a given name, Tannit/Tanit saw revival in the 20th century, especially in Catalan- and Spanish-speaking areas (notably the Balearics), and in English via the variant Tanith (e.g., author Tanith Lee). Recorded variants include Tanit, Tannit, Tinnit, Tanith, and Catalan Tànit.
