Etymology
From Punic 𐤕𐤍𐤂 (tng). This name could be related to the name of the city Tinghir.[1] Possibly cognate with Central Atlas Tamazight ⵜⴰⵏ (tan, “place of”), and Kabyle ɣer (“to call”), thus "port of call". More at Tangier.
Attestations in Latin of the shape of the original name, without the added desinence of -is, include Tinge (by Pomponius Mela) and Tingi (by Pliny the Elder).
