Thao

From Sino-Vietnamese 草, meaning 'grass' or 'herbs,' or from the native Vietnamese word thảo meaning 'filial' and 'kind-hearted.' In the Vietnamese naming context, Thảo carries the meaning of goodness and a gentle, nurturing nature — as lush and life-giving as green grass. The name also evokes the virtue of hiếu thảo (filial piety and kindness), highly prized in Vietnamese families.
