I have always thought that the attribution of it as a variant of
Tawny was incorrect.
To me it fits very closely with the other T- names with strong “ah” and “ee” sounds that are popular in Australia, such as
Talia & variants,
Tiana & variants, etc. I grew up with several girls whose names were
Tahnee or a version thereof in Perth.
