Taqqi

Taqqi is a personal name that appears in several Muslim-majority communities. It is most commonly used as a given name for males and, less frequently, as a surname. The spelling varies with transliteration, and Taqqi is one of several variants, including Taqi and Taqui. The name is generally linked to the Arabic root taqwa, meaning piety or God-consciousness, with the exact interpretation shaped by language and cultural tradition.

In onomastic practice, Taqqi is found in Arabic-speaking regions as well as in South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia, reflecting the spread of Arabic-derived personal names through Islamic cultures. Variants arise from differences in scripts and phonetics, such as Urdu, Persian, Turkish, and Indonesian spellings, but all typically trace back to the same semantic core.

There are no widely recognized institutions, geographical locations, or organizations whose standard English name is Taqqi, and the term is predominantly encountered as a personal name. When it appears in historical or contemporary records, it is usually cited as a given name rather than a toponym or institutional title.

Variants and related names include Taqi and Taqui in different languages, reflecting local pronunciation.
