Believed to be a variant of Thais, meaning beloved.
Taiz is a rare feminine name likely derived from the Greek name Thais, which historically belonged to a famous companion of Alexander the Great. It is also the name of a major city in Yemen, though as a given name in the West, it is often chosen for its sleek, modern sound. Its brevity and unique 'z' ending give it a contemporary edge.
