    Dutch "tiene vly" meaning "ten swamps" according to O'Connor, Ian. If You're Thinking of Living in: Tenafly, The New York Times, April 24, 1988

    From the Dutch for "on a meadow."

    During the Depression, the Federal Writers Program of the WPA produced a book of place name origins, from which I got this information.
