About Taten
A surname style name, reminiscent of cheerful Tate and unisex Tatum, along with modern choices like Talon, Tanner, and Sutton. Taten has been used as a baby name since the early 90s and in a recent year was given to 21 boys. Ultimately from the Anglo-Saxon Tata, it means "glad, happy", although it may equally refer to a place owned by someone called Tate or Tata.
Taten coincides with a German word (tah-TUHN) meaning "deeds, actions, feats" and the Welsh word (TA-tehn or TA-tan) for "potato", so you might need to bear that in mind, depending on where you live. It could lead you to some fun, at-home nicknames though.
Pronounced TAY-ten.
As of October 2026, Taten ranked #7140 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3182 for boys in 2007.
