Origin:Pacific Islander
Tane is a boy’s name of Pacific Island origin. Meaning both “man” and “god of the forests and birds,” this unique name has an interesting source. In the Maori culture, Tane (or Tāne Mahuta) is the son of the Sky Father and the Earth Mother. He was the strongest of his brothers and sisters and pushed his parents apart in order to create the world, separating earth and sky. Not only that, but we also have Tane to thank as some legends also say that he created the first human. Your little one will be filled with pride whenever you say his name, rich with culture and inspiration.
