Tanin Surname User-submission:

The surname Tanin came as a variation of the surname Tawil (طويل), which means 'long' in Arabic, especially during the immigration of Lebanese people to South America and the South East of Brazil by the Santos and Rio de Janeiro ports. During the immigration, since the Arabic language was made with symbols that were not recognized by the immigration officers, they wrote the names by phonetic interpretation, creating the variation.
