What does Tahj mean?
Tahj means “Crown, through Taj”.
Tahj is a spelling of Taj, a name associated with the word for a crown in Arabic and in other languages that use the term. The added h is a feature of the modern Latin-letter spelling rather than an extra meaningful element. The crown image can suggest honor, but it does not make the name a formal royal title.
Actor Tahj Mowry is a recognizable bearer of this spelling. Taj is the closest comparison and makes the connection with the familiar word especially clear. The same word appears in longer personal names and famous place names, including the Taj Mahal, although a child named Tahj need not be named for the monument. The short given name can stand independently.
