tauni is English in Origin.

Tauni is a modern English given name, most often feminine, understood as a creative respelling of Tawny, the color term meaning “golden-brown.” “Tawny” entered English via Anglo-French tauné, from Old French tanné “tanned,” ultimately from tan (oak bark used in tanning). Tauni may also show influence from diminutive Toni (short for Antonia/Anthony) and from Tani/Tanya, lending a soft, contemporary sound.

In use in North America since the late 20th century, Tauni is rare and reflects the era’s inventive spellings that rose in the 1980s–1990s alongside Tawny in pop culture. Variants and near-forms include Tawny, Tawni, Tawnie, Tawnee, Tawnya, Toni, Tani, Taunie, and Taani. As a color-derived name, it evokes warmth and amber tones; via Toni, it can also connect to Antonius, a Roman family name of uncertain origin.
