Lineage:Tanet
The Tanet name, which is a very unique Celtic origin, came from the rugged landscape of Wales. This Brythonic Celtic name is from the name Danet. This name is formed through the addition of the diminutive prefix -et to Dan, which is a pet form of the personal name Daniel. The initial D of the name was often sharpened to T, giving rise to the surname Tanet.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Tanat, Tannat, Tanet, Tanett, Tanatt, Tannatt and many more.
