Etymology: Tamworth is a town in Staffordshire, England, and the name is its own, which makes its history a matter of place rather than language. The word entered English as a proper noun for the town itself, and it has no meaning beyond identifying that place. Its best-known use as a common word comes from the breed of pig named after it, though that is a separate sense rather than an origin for the name.
