Meaning & Origin
A tall brimless hat, usually conical or curved on top, worn in Muslim countries as a sign of distinction and prestige.
Taj is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin meaning 'crown' or 'jewel,' from the Arabic taj. The word is most famous through the Taj Mahal ('crown of the palace'), the breathtaking monument in Agra, India, built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Taj has a clean, confident single-syllable that carries enormous cultural resonance. Used across Muslim and Hindu communities, it evokes architectural grandeur and romantic devotion simultaneously. A name that manages to suggest a palace with three letters.
