The crater was named for the first time in 1651 by Giovanni Riccioli after the Ingolstadt controversial theologian and Jesuit Adam Tanner , whose essential historical merit is seen today in his fundamental criticism of the witch hunt. The Jesuit Riccioli justified the naming, however, with Tanner's merits for the theological discussion of Lutheranism , in his words "the heretics ".
Beer and Mädler deleted the name of the “furious heretic hunter” in their selenography of 1837, which they also justified with the fact that it was not possible to determine which crater Riccioli was referring to. The selenographer Edmund Neison reintroduced the name. In 1935 the crater was officially named after Tanner by the IAU . The side craters received their IAU names in 2006.
