Tauno-Matti is Finnish in Origin.

Tauno-Matti is a Finnish compound given name that pairs Tauno with Matti. Tauno is used in both Finland and Estonia; its exact etymology is debated, though it is often connected to the Estonian name Tõnu, a vernacular offshoot of the Latin Antonius (probably of Etruscan origin and without a certain meaning). Tauno saw its greatest popularity in Finland in the mid-20th century, carried by figures such as actor Tauno Palo. Matti is the time-honored Finnish form of Matthew/Matthias.

As a whole, the name is anchored semantically by Matti, from Hebrew Matityahu, meaning “gift of God.” Variants and cognates include Tauno (unhyphenated) or Tauno Matti as a doublet; related forms for the first element are Tõnu and Tõnis (Estonian) and, if the Antonius link is accepted, Antti, Anttoni, and Toni. For the second element, counterparts include Matias/Matthias, Matthew, Matteo, Mateusz, and Matías.
