Meaning & History

Derived from French fauve. As a noun, fauve means "tawny-coloured animal" and, by extension, " big cat (such as a lion or lynx); beast, wild animal (especially fierce, aggressive, or predatory)". As an adjective, fauve means "tawny" and, by extension, "savage, fierce (having the ferocity of a wild animal); dangerous, wild". The name first appeared in the 1980s and was brought to public attention by Fauve Hautot (born 3 March 1986), a French dancer and choreographer.
