Etymology: Derived from the Japanese words 'taka' (高) meaning 'high' or 'tall', and 'nashi' (無し or 无) which can mean 'without' but in this context likely comes from an archaic or dialectical use related to 'field' or 'plain'—possibly linked to 'nashi' as a variant of 'na' (名) meaning 'name' or place, though more commonly interpreted as 'tall field'. The name may originate from a place name in northern Japan.
