Meaning & origin

Tacie is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1887, its peak year. Despite being recorded as recently as 2025, the name has never ranked in the top 1000 and remains extremely uncommon. Its trajectory is stable, reflecting very low but consistent usage. The name is likely a diminutive of Tacita, from Latin 'tacitus' meaning silent, though it may also be a creative spelling of Tacy. With no top states and no known famous bearers, Tacie offers a distinct choice for parents seeking an obscure vintage name.

Tacie is likely a short form or variant of Tacita, the feminine form of Tacitus, a Latin name meaning 'silent'. Saint Tacita was a 5th-century martyr, but the name remained rare in English usage. Tacie appears sporadically in the United States in the late 19th century, possibly as a playful or invented diminutive.
