Tais

Tais is primarily a feminine given name used in Portuguese-speaking communities, especially in Brazil. In Brazilian Portuguese it is often an independent name and may also function as a diminutive or nickname for Taís, though it frequently appears simply as Tais without further derivation. The name gained popularity in the late 20th century as part of a broader trend toward short, melodically styled names in Brazilian naming practices. It is used across regions and social groups within Brazil and can be found among people in various professions.

As a surname, Tais exists but is relatively uncommon and does not appear to be tied to a single, well-documented origin. In some cases it may be encountered as a family name in individuals with Portuguese or Lusophone heritage, though it remains rare compared with its use as a given name.

Beyond these name usages, Tais does not have a widely recognized meaning as a common noun in major languages. The spelling also occurs as a variant in different linguistic communities, reflecting the name’s adaptability across cultures.
