Tauna is a feminine name with English roots that may serve as a spin on the name Tawny. Coming from the Old French word tané, it can refer to the light, golden brown color that may give you visuals of sandy beaches or a lion’s mane. With the name Tauna, your little one can be inspired to see the colorful beauty throughout the world—vibrant or neutral.
