Taiquan (pronounced tie-kwon) brings together the Chinese elements tài, meaning “great,” and quán, meaning “power” or “fist,” for a name that feels both bold and elegant. Though it nods to martial-arts roots—playfully packing a punch—it also carries a spark of Latin alegría, like a quick salsa step under a warm sun. Since the late ’80s, Taiquan has held a steady spot in the U.S. baby charts (often ranking in the 700s–900s), a sign that parents keep coming back to its promise of strength and corazón. It’s a name that races ahead, inspiring every boy who wears it to stand tall, dream big, and write his own legend.
