Taunie is a unique and distinctive name of French origin. It is derived from the French word "taureau," which means "bull." The name Taunie is believed to have been popularized by the French author and playwright, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who named his dog Taureau in his memoir, "Confessions." Although Rousseau's dog was male, the name Taunie has since become associated with females as well. Despite its unusual spelling, Taunie is often pronounced like "Toni," with a soft "e" sound at the end. While it may not be a common name today, Taunie remains a charming and memorable choice for parents looking for something different for their daughter.
"Based on annual statistics from the United States, the name Taunie appeared only once in 1969 with a total of five births that year."
