Taiji is Japanese in Origin.

Taiji is a Japanese masculine given name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen. Common spellings include 泰司 (“serene” + “administrator”), 泰治 (“peaceful” + “govern/heal”), 太司 (“great” + “administrator”), 太治 (“great” + “govern/heal”), and 泰慈 (“serene” + “compassion”). The elements tai (太/泰) convey greatness, stability, or tranquility, while ji (司/治/慈) ranges from rule and governance to healing or benevolence, yielding interpretations such as “peaceful steward,” “great healer,” or “serene rule.”

Documented since the early 20th century in Japan, Taiji saw modest use through the Shōwa era and remains recognizable though uncommon today; bearers include bassist Sawada Taiji (X Japan) and animator Yabushita Taiji. The romanization is typically Taiji; related names include Taishi and Taichi (distinct: 太一 “great one”). Outside Japan, recognition is colored by the Chinese philosophical term tàijí (太極, source of “tai chi”), which is etymologically separate from the personal name’s usual kanji.
