Tahiti Origin and Meaning

The name Tahiti is a girl's name of Polynesian origin.

The Polynesian place name Tahiti was given to the island by its natives, although the origins of this name have been lost to history. Tahiti was once a Polynesian kingdom, but today is a part of the Society Islands in French Polynesia.

It's important to recognize that Tahiti's history is intertwined with the shadows of colonialism, making this a loaded, unadvisable choice for those without Tahitian heritage. Tahitians do not use Tahiti as a baby name, but we have seen it used as a middle name by parents in the Tahitian diaspora.
