The beginning and end of time. The first roots of humble beginnings, spreading wings and soaring into a wondrous myth that would be passed down for many generations. A name is one man's inspiration, and inspiration unlocks the future. A beautiful dream!

Tāne is among my favourite names. In Maori and Tahitian, as a noun, tāne (lowercase) means "man". As an adjective it means "male". In Turkish and Japanese it means "seed" / "grain".

My name is Tané and I have NEVER come across anyone else with that name. I use the Maori pronunciation of tah-neh it doesn't sound right any other way but it's not very popular in England.

There are heaps of guys I know call Tane. Its pronounced Ta-neh. Theres a guy in my class who spell his Taine so everyone knows to pronounce it tayne. Rhyming with sane. But theres a Tane who pronounces his normally like Tah-neh. And another Tayne who spells his Tane. Pretty confusing but the teacher just asks how youd rather it. I wouldnt call my son this its too commom where I live. I also know another Taine.

Tane is also a Japanese name for girls, which means "seed". I am not sure how it is pronounced.
Tane is also an English surname derived from Cornish and Welsh that means "house" and pronounced TAYN that has been used as a first name for both males and females.
Unfortunately, it is also an obscene slang term for the female anatomy.

Quit bastardising the Maori language. It's not pronounced TAH-nee, TAH-nay or Tahn-ay. It doesn't rhyme with sane either. It's tah-neh as those who know their Maori have already pointed out.

I'm from New Zealand and as it says above, it is not pronounced TAH-nee. It is pronounced Tah-neh, the 'neh' should be pronounced as the same sound you make when you say 'net'.
