WHAT DOES TAMMANY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tammany

Tamanend

Tamanend or Tammany or Tammamend, the "affable", was a chief of one of the clans that made up the Lenni-Lenape nation in the Delaware Valley at the time Philadelphia was established. Tamanend is best known as a lover of peace and friendship who played a prominent role in the establishment of peaceful relations among the Native American tribes and the English settlers who established Pennsylvania, led by William Penn. Under the name "Tammany", he was a popular figure in America, especially in Philadelphia. Referred to as "Patron Saint of America", he became an emblem of peace and amity. A Tammany society is an annual Tammany festival that was founded in Philadelphia. Tammany societies elsewhere were established, using his name to stand for the peaceful politics of negotiation.
