Tauno-Veikko is a Finnish compound masculine name common in Finland and also encountered in Estonia. Tauno is a traditional Finnish given name whose precise etymology is uncertain; scholars often link it to nicknames formed from Taneli (Daniel) or Taavetti (David). It rose to wider recognition in the 20th century through figures such as actor Tauno Palo. Veikko comes from colloquial Finnish veikko, meaning dear brother or mate, ultimately from the word veli (brother), and has been borne by many mid-century athletes and public figures.

Variants and related forms include Tauno’s short forms Tane and Tanu, and cognates Taneli and Taavi; Veikko appears as Veiko in Estonian and can shorten to Veikka or Veke, with the archaic spelling Weikko seen historically. As a hyphenated double name, Tauno-Veikko reflects a characteristically Finnish style of the 1900s, blending a venerable given name with an affectionate, brotherly epithet.
