The modern day given
name for a female, which stems from the
name of the Phoenician lunar goddess, 'Tanit', who was worshiped as the patron goddess at Carthage, and is recognized as both a heavenly goddess of
war and virginal mother goddess of love. Characteristically a girl prone to intense emotions, intellectual curiosity, a stubborn temperament, but also a tender
heart. A Tanith is often kinder and more forgiving of others than she is to herself, and likewise both gives and expects too much of herself and others.
"You forgave him after that?!
Wow, what a Tanith thing to do."
"I tried to get her to
stop beating herself up about her
mistake, but she was much too Tanith to listen."
