Tannous

Tannous refers to a family name of Levantine Arabic origin. It is a common surname among Christians, particularly Maronites, from Lebanon and Syria. The name's origin is debated, but it is often associated with the given name Anthony (from Latin Antonius). One theory is that "Tannous" is a diminutive or modified form of "Antoun," the Arabic form of Anthony. Variations in spelling may occur due to transliteration differences between Arabic and various European languages. People with the surname Tannous have emigrated worldwide, and the name can now be found across various countries.
