Tazio Origin and Meaning

The name Tazio is a boy's name of Italian origin.

A zippy Italian choice, derived from a Sabine-Latin family name whose meaning is unknown, Tazio is a relation of Tatiano and Tatiana. Other sources suggest it might also be used as a short form of the names of Eustazio ("stable"), Lutazio ("a wrestling") and Anastasio ("resurrection") or possibly, though rarely, as a variant of Taddeo ("gift of god").

The name maybe pronounced in different ways: tatt-syo if it's taken as a stand-alone option, or tah-zee-o, if used as a short form.

Notable bearers of the name include racing driver Tazio Nuvolari and footballer Tazio Roversi.
