Taggart

Meaning of Taggart

Taggart is a masculine name of Gaelic origin, derived from the Irish and Scottish term Mac an t-Sagairt—literally “son of the priest”—and carries echoes of medieval ecclesiastical life shaped by Latin liturgical tradition. Its use as a given name in the United States remains rare but steady, registering fewer than ten annual occurrences in recent years and ranking outside the top 900, data that underscores its understated distinction. With a crisp, two-syllable pronunciation (TAG-uhrt) recognized on both sides of the Atlantic, Taggart offers parents a name that balances historical depth with a concise, contemporary edge.
