Here is a list of German names that start with T. The page includes German names for boys and girls from different eras, as well as last names.
The list is divided into several sections. The modern names are baby names and other names popular in the 2000s, while the traditional names are those common among people born in the 1900s. Some names that have remained popular over the years appear on both lists.
Most of the first names come from data provided by Beliebte-Vornamen.de, a site that lists the most common German names over the years. The surnames are the 1,000 German family names that are currently the most popular. All of the names also appear in my Random German Name Generator.

There are more modern than traditional names on the lists because I used a larger pool of modern names. The 2000s data includes the 500 most common names today and the top 10 from previous years, while the 1900s data only includes the top 10 for each year. Therefore, the longer lists don’t necessarily mean that an initial has become more popular over time.

Traditional 1900s German Female Names that Begin with T
- Tanja
Why were German girl names starting with T so uncommon in the past? Female names beginning with T were uncommon in traditional German naming because few native or biblical names for women started with that letter. The hard initial T sound was less typical for older Germanic female names, which often began with softer or more melodic consonants like E, G, or L.
