Taube Origin and Meaning

The name Taube is a girl's name.

Taube is a feminine name of Yiddish origin meaning 'dove.' In Jewish tradition, doves symbolize peace, innocence, and gentleness, making this name rich with meaningful symbolism. The name was relatively common among Ashkenazi Jewish communities in Eastern Europe from the 18th to early 20th centuries. Many Jewish immigrants brought this name to America and other countries during waves of migration, though it often became anglicized or replaced with similar-sounding names like Toby. While less frequently used today, Taube continues to be chosen by families honoring Jewish heritage or seeking a name with spiritual significance. Its simple yet elegant sound and beautiful meaning give it a timeless quality despite its rarity in contemporary use.
