Tavish is a unique boy’s name with Irish, Scottish, and Aboriginal origins. A clearly well-traveled name, Tavish can be linked to “teeve,” an Irish word meaning “hillside” which is where it gets its meaning. Tavish is the Scottish form of Thomas and evokes images of Scottish men adorning traditional tartan kilts. If you’re looking to pay respect to an ancestral Thomas, Tavish is a splendid choice.
