Meaning: Taeshaun joins the Tae- prefix to Shaun, an anglicized spelling of the Irish Sean, a form of John from a Hebrew root meaning God is gracious. It sits in a large late-century family of prefixed Shaun and Shawn names such as Deshaun and Rashaun; the Shaun element supplies the inherited meaning while the prefix makes it individual.Low

History & Origin
Taeshaun is a coined boy's name from the turn of the millennium, part of the broad African American tradition of building names on the Shaun and Shawn sound. The Tae- prefix was a period favorite, and pairing it with Shaun, the Irish form of John, produced a fresh yet grounded name. Taeshaun appears in United States records around 1999 and was given to only a small number of boys.
It never became common, reaching only a couple dozen boys a year at its peak, so a boy named Taeshaun then would be in his early twenties today. It reads as a coinage rather than a revival, with relatives like Deshaun and Rashaun better established.
