Taija is a baby girl name of Finnish, Arabic, and Hindi origin. As a Finnish name, Taija is a form of Tarja, meaning “one who maintains or possesses the well” from Daria, Taina, meaning “honorable” from Tatiana, and Taimi, a Finnish and Estonian name meaning “plant” or “sapling.” Taija is also a form of Taja, a Hindi and Arabic name from Taj that means “crown.” From the ancient Greeks and Romans to the new modern era, crowns have been worn by gods and royals alike. Crowns are frequently bedecked with the world’s most precious metals and jewels, fit for your little sovereign. But even if baby doesn’t have the heavy burden of a physical crown, they’re likely to make their regal presence known no matter where they go with a name like Taija.
