Thao

Thao is a gender-neutral name of Vietnamese origin, inspired by Thảo. Being polite is sometimes an overlooked virtue. But if you find it essential, Thao’s endearment "to be dutiful,” “virtuous,” or “generous" may help instill these values from day one. If baby turns out to be a wordsmith, Thao’s additional meaning of “to write” will fit nicely. Thao is also a name applied to many species of grasses and herbs, giving the name a refreshing twist. Rich with cultural ties, the Thao people are a group of Taiwanese indigenous people who are believed to have ancestry dating back to the Qing Dynasty. Versatile and deeply rooted in history, there are so many reasons to love Thao.
