Taz
taz
US Popularity:12333
Origin:American
Meaning:Twin; Shallow ornamental cup
Taz is a unique gender-neutral American name. It's associated with the baby girl name Tasmin, meaning “twin” in Hebrew. While Taz has also been used as a nickname for many similar sounding options, it is becoming a force to be reckoned with in its own right. Additionally, it is a possible derivation of the Arabic word tazza, meaning "shallow ornamental cup." This name will also work if baby is as wild and untamable as a little Tasmanian devil, paying homage to both the carnivorous marsupial—and Looney Tunes character—or the Australian island state. With a name packing so much attitude, baby Taz is bound to make their own mark in the world.
