Taeki is Japanese, Korean in Origin.
Taeki is a Korean given name, usually masculine, built from the Sino-Korean elements Tae (태) and Gi/Ki (기). Its sense depends on the hanja selected: Tae is often 太 or 泰 (“great; exalted; peaceful”), while Gi/Ki may be 基 (“foundation”), 起 (“rise”), 旗 (“banner”), or 氣 (“vital energy”), yielding readings like “great foundation,” “exalted rise,” or “noble vitality.” It may also be written purely in Hangul as 태기.
In steady use in Korea through the 20th and 21st centuries, Taeki fits the classic two-syllable naming pattern. Spelling varies with romanization and preference: Tae-gi and Tae-ki are common, Taegi/Taeki are also seen, and McCune–Reischauer renders it T’aegi. Because many hanja combinations are possible, the name has no single fixed meaning without the specific characters.
