Why is 11 not called Onety one?
Why is the number 11 not called "onety one" or "tenty one"?

Probably because the smaller numbers like eleven, twelve and the teens had their names well established from early on, so they kept the original names whilst using the systematic naming for twenty and above. That's my guess anyway.

sis
tenty one = 11
twenty one = 21
thirty one = 31
I wrote it like "ten-ty" so they wouldn't think I misspelled twenty
