Meaning & origin
Taygen is a thoroughly modern name, first appearing in U.S. Social Security records in 2001. Its meaning is not rooted in any historical language; it appears to be a creative blend of the syllable Tay (see Taylor) and the fashionable suffix -gen that gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries (think Jayden, Aiden). The name reached its peak in 2011, and while it has never ranked in the top 1000, its trajectory has been rising since 2020, suggesting a modest but persistent appeal. Taygen is used for both boys and girls, reflecting a broader trend toward unisex names. It has not been recorded in any top states, indicating that its use is scattered rather than concentrated regionally.
