Tannor is English in Origin.

Tannor is a modern English given name derived from the occupational surname Tanner, denoting a leather worker or tanner of hides. The surname stems from Middle English tannere, via Old French tanneur “tanner,” ultimately related to Medieval Latin tannare “to tan,” and to tan, the oak bark used in the process. As a first name, it emerged in Anglophone countries in the late 20th century amid the rise of surname-style choices; the Tannor spelling offers a distinctive twist while preserving the same craftsman meaning.

Usage remains relatively rare compared with Tanner, but it shares that name’s rugged, outdoorsy image. Variant spellings and close relatives include Tanner (standard), Tannar, Tanor, and the German surname Tannen (meaning “fir”), though these differ in origin. Similar-sounding Turkish Taner (“man of dawn”) is etymologically unrelated. Short forms include Tan. Meaning: “tanner; leather worker.”
