Origin and meaning of Tae-yang
Tae-yang (태양) is the ordinary Korean word for 'sun', written with the hanja 太陽: 太 (tae), 'great, supreme', and 陽 (yang), 'sunlight, the positive yang principle'. Unlike many two-syllable Korean names, its meaning here is fixed and transparent, without ambiguity from alternative hanja. It became famous worldwide thanks to Tae-yang, singer and member of the group Big Bang, and parents love its immediate, radiant symbolic strength.
