What is the meaning of the name Tako ?

The baby name Tako is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TAH-koh (IPA: /ˈtɑko/).

Tako is Georgian, Japanese in Origin.

In Georgian, Tako is a familiar diminutive of Tamar, the biblical name from Hebrew tamar meaning date palm, a symbol of grace and fruitfulness. In late 20th-century Georgia it began to stand on its own as a feminine given name, helped by the enduring prestige of Queen Tamar and visibility of modern bearers such as singer Tako Gachechiladze and model Tako Natsvlishvili.

Variants and related forms include Tamar, Tamari, Tamara, Tamra, and Georgian pet forms Tamuna, Tamo, Tika, and Tata; nicknames for Tako often overlap with these. Outside Georgia, Tako also occurs as a Frisian/Dutch male name related to Taco, while in Japanese tako simply means octopus and is not a typical personal name. This cross-linguistic mix gives Tako a compact, modern sound with deep roots in the Tamar tradition and broad international recognizability.
