The folklore name of Tamanend, chief of a clan of the Lenni-Lenape nation who greeted William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, when Penn arrived in the United States. He became quite popular in early American popular culture and was called a 'Saint' by Americans who wanted to mock European groups and their identification with their patron saints.
