Tajae is a unisex given name of modern origin, deriving from the Arabic word taj, meaning “crown,” combined with the contemporary -e suffix often employed in English to signal a stylistic variant. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security Administration records in 1993 with twelve recorded births (ranked #854) and reached a relative maximum of twenty-seven births in 1999 (#864) before settling into a range of five to fourteen annual instances over the subsequent two decades; in 2024 it stood at #945 with five newborns. This usage profile reflects a measured parental preference for names that marry classical etymology with inventive spelling while remaining fully adaptable across gender lines. The pronunciation /təˈdʒeɪ/ aligns smoothly with Anglo-American phonological norms, facilitating clear articulation in diverse speech communities. Although it has never ranked among the most common names, Tajae’s steady presence in national statistics highlights its appeal as a balanced choice for families seeking both historical resonance and contemporary distinctiveness.
