Tandee is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin. It was a name given to a male, where it was originally used as a pet form of Andrew. 1 Essentially the surname Tandee originally derived from the Old Scottish name Andrew.
The surname Tandee was first found in Surrey in the parish of Leigh, where the Dendy family held estates and made sizable donations to the local church. 2 The first record of the family was Dandi (without surname) who was listed in Lincolnshire in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1271-1273.

To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Tandee family emigrate to North America: Elizabeth Dande who settled in Boston in 1712; William Dando who settled in Barbados in 1654; Joseph Dando arrived in Philadelphia in 1838.
