Tanit was a Phoenician goddess but it looks like the Greeks named the city Tanis, so that won’t do. Also I believe “tan” in some form is the Hebrew word for whale, but it can’t have been much of a whaling town. Anyway I do wonder about these things :)

Mybe I was thinking of the name of the Mummy, Klaris in the Abbott & Costello version.
