Comments for the name Tai

This name is also well used in Polynesia. In Maori, this word has different meanings depending on the usage, but as a name it means "the tide".

Tai can be short for Tawanisia (I think that's how it's spelled).

Tai Yagami is one of the principal caracters in the TV searies "Digimon".

"Tai" means "very big" in Chinese? Since when? It just means "too," as in "excessively."

"Tai" definitely means "big", too. Hands down. In modern Chinese, people use this word as "excessively" , "very" or whatever, but originally it means "very big" or "great". My name is Jin Tai Xiong (sounds like jin - tie - shong) and this name means "The Great Man".

In Romanian "tăi" (pronounced like English "tie") means "yours."

In Korean, this name sounds like "tei" like in "TAYlor". I love this name not only because this is my name (I spell it TAE though), but because it has a great meaning, it has an impression of being masculine, trustworthy and strong. My first son is definitely going to be Tae.

I was looking through Chinese names for a story I'm writing, and a character's name is Tai-Wen. Literally, the name means "big culture and literacy," but I see that as a reflection of his sheer ambition, and slightly pompous nature.
