Taine is used as a family name or surname in many languages. It is 5 characters long in length.
Family Name / Last Name: Taine
No. of characters: 5
Origin: Unknown
Meaning: Name focused in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, where we also find the Taisnes form. The dictionary MT Morlet this name relates to badger (Old French Taisson), which is not illogical, since the place name Taisnières (= place where there are many badgers) is quite widespread in this region. Given the reputation of the badger, it would be an unflattering nickname. Note however that a Belgian philologist, Jules Herbillon thought the s Taisne was not etymological, and that it was a place name corresponding to the word Ardennes Tene (= hill, mound).
