Meaning:Silent, mute
Tacitus is a name both historic and wise, most famously borne by the Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus. This masculine appellation derives from the Latin tacitus, meaning “silent” or “mute.” This same root inspired the English word taciturn, which describes someone who has a quiet nature. Whether baby likes to watch everything unfold from a cozy perspective or will one day be the voice of their community, Tacitus will always make their presence known.
