OUR NAME

What’s the name “Tanj” all about?

Tan

We thought you might ask.

First, “Tanj” comes from “tangible.” Language is ethereal and often abstract. We make it tangible — real, active, alive.

Second, from the Japanese word “tanjun,” which means “to simplify.” We believe simplicity is the hallmark of a great name and message.

And finally, from “tangerine.”

We like tangerines.

A lot.
