Tassilo – also spelled Thassilo – is a male name of
West Germanic origin. It is the
diminutive form of the name
Tasso/Tazzo.
Tasso/Tazzo itself is the diminutive form of Taginbert, which is of West Germanic origin and means "glittering as the day". The components of Taginbert are the Old High German words ''tag'' (day) and ''beraht'' (glittering). The Proto-Germanic roots of the components are "dagaz" (day) and "berhtaz" (bright) and the name Taginbert corresponds to the common Frankish name
Dagobert.
