Meaning of a name
I'm trying to help a friend find the meaning of her name. Her first name is Tennise. All she could tell me about it, was that it is Dutch and it comes from the 14th century. Thanks to anyone who can help.

A form of Denise?See Tennyson."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

Honestly I'm not sure, it could be. But Tennyson is a Male form of the word. It's also not connected to the Dutch language, 14th century.
