Taco
t(a)-co
Origin:Mexican
Meaning:"Light lunch; Thoughtful adviser; People; Half, in the middle"
"Your little taquito has arrived! If you are still struggling to find the perfect name for your tiny tot, why not go for the masculine title, Taco? It has some very distinct meanings, which you may find surprising. The taco, a quintessentially Mexican snack dish, gets its name from the Spanish slang term taco, which describes a ""light lunch."" Taco may also have German and Dutch origins, translating to ""thoughtful adviser"" or ""people."" Some sources link Taco to thlaco, a Nahuatl word meaning ""half"" or ""in the middle."" Perhaps the taco's folded-over shape inspired its name. When you and baby Taco celebrate birthdays and other special occasions, one dish will always be on the menu."
