Taki

Taki is an Old Danish form of Tage. This masculine given name originates from the medieval Danish byname Taki, which in turn derives from Old Norse taka, meaning "to take" or "to capture." Originally, it likely served as a nickname for a swift or grasping person, possibly referencing a seafarer's role or a thief. In modern Scandinavia, Tale uses remain rare.
