Originating from England, the name Tandy is of Old English derivation, meaning 'fiery' or 'bold'. It's a unique and strong-sounding name that was once more common in the past but has since become quite rare, giving it a vintage yet distinctive appeal. Traditionally, Tandy was used as both a given name for boys and girls, although its use is now predominantly associated with males.
"The name Tandy experienced a peak of popularity between 1961 and 1971 with around 30-40 births each year. However, it began to decline sharply afterwards, reaching single digits by the late 1980s."
