Tanetta is a distinctive and uncommon name of African origin, derived from the Swahili word "taneti," which means "patience." This beautiful name has gained some recognition internationally but remains relatively rare, offering those who bear it a unique identity.
Tanetta appears to have been a popular name for newborn girls from the early to mid-1970s, with a peak of 9 births each in 1974 and 1979. However, its popularity declined thereafter, with only 5 births recorded in both 1985 and 1987, and another 5 in 1991. Overall, there were 81 babies named Tanetta between 1972 and 1991.
