Tasman, of Norse origin, translates to 'tidal sea'. It's a unique and uncommon given name that evokes images of vast oceans and rugged coastlines. The name finds its roots in Scandinavia, where it was traditionally bestowed upon boys. However, it is now occasionally used as a unisex name. Tasman is also associated with the Tasman Sea, which separates Australia and New Zealand, and Abel Tasman, the first European explorer to reach New Zealand.
"The name Tasman had a peak year in terms of births in 2001 with 10 babies named Tasman born that year. It then fluctuated between 5 and 8 births annually until a recent increase to 7 births in 2021, totaling 60 births over the period from 2001 to 2021."
