Meaning & origin
Tayte is a modern English name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1994, a spelling variant of the more common Tate. Its peak usage came in 2012, when it reached its highest rank, but since then its popularity has been falling, reflecting a shift away from this particular spelling. With a current rank of 6143 in 2025, Tayte remains a rare choice, given to approximately 1 in 122,005 babies that year. The name has not been associated with any single state's top naming trends, indicating broad but sparse use across the country.
Tayte is a modern spelling variant of Tate. Tate itself is an English surname derived from the Old English personal name Tata, of uncertain meaning, but possibly meaning 'cheerful'. The name Tate has been used as a given name since the 20th century, and Tayte emerged as a distinctive spelling in the 1990s.
