You need a unique instance of a view controller for each tab item. But of course all instances can be of the same class. So you could define a class MyViewController with properties type and name and then instantiate one for each tab.

Pseudocode:

NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [NSMutableArray array];
for all categories {
    MyViewController *vc = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:...];
    vc.type = ....;
    vc.name = ....;
    [viewControllers addObject:vc];
}
tabBarController.viewControllers = viewControllers;
