Tammyn is a modern English feminine given name, best understood as an embellished variant of Tammy. The -yn ending echoes Cornish and Welsh spellings seen in Tamsyn and Tamsin, giving the name a lilt and contemporary flair. Tammy began as a diminutive of two sources: Tamara, from Hebrew Tamar meaning “date palm,” and Thomasina, the feminine of Thomas, ultimately from Aramaic Ta’oma meaning “twin.” Tammyn therefore inherits both lineages and their associated meanings.

Use of Tammyn is rare, appearing sporadically from the late 20th century onward, while Tammy enjoyed mid-century popularity in the United States and Britain, boosted by the 1957 film Tammy and the Bachelor and its hit theme.
