The name Tangie is of American origin and is primarily used for females. It carries the beautiful meaning of "Angelic." However, it is interesting to note that in Scottish folklore, a tangie (or tongie) is a shape-shifting sea spirit known for terrorizing lonely travelers, particularly young women near the lochs. It takes on the appearance of a sea horse or merman covered in seaweed and has the ability to cause derangement in humans and animals. The tangie plays a significant role in the Shetland legend of Black Eric, a sheep rustler, and is associated with supernatural assistance and causing fear in the area. This folklore adds a unique layer of mystery to the name Tangie, contrasting its gentle meaning with the intriguing and somewhat eerie nature of the sea spirit in Scottish mythology.
