Meaning & origin
Tahjae is a modern American name that first appeared in official U.S. records in 1995, making it a relatively recent coinage. Its origin is uncertain, but it likely draws from the fashionable sound of names like Taj and the suffix -ae. The name reached its peak usage in 1999, with a rank in the top states that year. After 1999, its frequency remained stable and rare. As a unisex name, Tahjae has been given to both boys and girls, though slightly more often to boys.

States like New York, California, and Texas have reported occasional use of Tahjae.

The name saw its peak usage in 1999 and has since remained stable in rare use. Its exact derivation is uncertain, typical of many modern invented names.
