tahes

Tahes is a relatively uncommon Estonian name. Its origin is directly linked to the Estonian word 'tahes,' which is the third person singular form of the verb 'tahtma,' meaning 'to want' or 'to wish.' However, in the context of names, it is more commonly associated with the verb 'elama,' meaning 'to live,' specifically the form 'ta elab,' meaning 'he lives.' This gives the name a life-affirming or enduring quality.

The name is not widely documented in historical records as a traditional given name, suggesting it might be a more modern coinage or a very rare, localized usage. Estonian naming conventions often draw from nature, virtues, or common words, making 'Tahes' a plausible, albeit unique, choice within the language's structure.
