Taneti is Telugu in Origin.
Taneti is not securely explained as a lexical given name in standard sources. It is best documented as a South Indian family name, especially among Telugu speakers, where Roman spelling may represent Telugu టానేటి or తానేటి according to family practice. The earliest recoverable form is the modern surname Taneti, not an older attested word. Because no dependable Telugu, Kiribati, or Onotoa etymon is established, its literal meaning should be treated as unknown.
Records and contemporary name lists place Taneti chiefly in India, with concentrations reported in Andhra Pradesh and neighboring states; this pattern fits Telugu surname use better than a distinct Micronesian origin. As a first name it has little documented historical profile, and no specific religious or literary association is secure. Possible romanized spellings include Taaneti and Tāneti, but Tanetti and Tinetti are separate-looking forms and should not be assumed equivalent.
