Taciano as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Taciano

What is the meaning of the name Taciano ?

The baby name Taciano is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Italian: /taˈtʃaːno/ (ta-CHA-no); Spanish: /taˈsjano/ or /taˈθjano/ (ta-SYA-no / ta-TYA-no); English respelling: tuh-CHAH-no or tuh-SYAH-no.

Taciano is Latin in Origin.

Taciano is a Portuguese and Spanish given name, a vernacular form of Latin Tatianus, itself from the Sabine family name Tatius (borne by the legendary Titus Tatius). Its meaning is uncertain; with Tatius of obscure Sabine origin, Taciano is best taken as "belonging to the Tatius/Tatianus line" rather than a word with clear sense.

Use spread via late antique Christians named Tatianus/Tatian - most notably Tatian the Assyrian, a 2nd-century writer - and several martyrs, sustaining the name across the Roman world. Today Taciano occurs mainly in Lusophone, and to a lesser extent Hispanophone, settings, with noted use in Brazil. Variants include Tatiano (Spanish/Italian), Tatian (English), and Latin Tatianus; feminine forms are Taciana and Tatiana. Nicknames Taci and Ciano appear regionally. The name remains rare and distinctive in modern use.
