Taki

Meaning of Taki

Taki, pronounced “tah-kee,” is a Japanese name meaning “waterfall,” conjuring images of steady cascades and serene strength. Though it’s delightfully rare in the U.S.—with only a handful of little ones bearing the name since the 1970s—it has quietly made its mark, dipping into the SSA’s top-900 charts across several years. That gentle scarcity gives Taki a hidden-gem quality, perfect for parents seeking a name that whispers rather than shouts. With its natural elegance, poetic flow, and playful spirit, Taki invites every child to forge their own path—one graceful step at a time.
