Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of 'Tavey'
in reply to a message by Elemmennope
One of the names on my list is Tavis, I wonder if it's the same as Tavish. In the name book I have, Tavis is celtic and means Sohn of David. Is it the same?

I've seen Tavis listed as an alternative of Tavish. And the usual meaning I see for Tavish is a Scottish or Irish gaelic form of Thomas meaning twin.
I'm skeptical though and don't care about meanings much, so don't quote me on it. I have no idea.

Tavis and Tavish
Tavish comes from Tavis by way of the Scottish Clan MacTamhais, or anglicized phonetically MacTavish. The founder of the Clan MacTamhais was Taus(phonetically Tavis).

I'm not sure if Taus (Tavis) actually translates to Thomas or if that's just the Christian name assigned to the Gaelic name, I know Tammas is the lowland Scot form of Thomas.
