Taw

The name 'Taw' is extremely rare and its etymology is uncertain. It is most likely derived from a surname, which in turn may have originated from a place name. One theory suggests a connection to the River Taw in Devon, England, which itself has an uncertain Celtic origin, possibly meaning 'dark' or 'flowing'. Another possibility is a very old, obscure English or regional dialect word. Due to its rarity, a definitive historical lineage is difficult to establish.
