From Middle Chinese 太陰 (tʰɑiᴴ ʔˠiɪm, “the moon”, literally “great dark, great yin”). Compare 太陽 (taiyō, “the sun”, literally “great light, great yang”). The kan'on reading, so either a later borrowing or a later development within Japan.

Sound shift from Taion above, replacing the standard goon and kan'on reading of tai for 太 with the kan'yōon of dai.[2] Probably influenced by the dai reading of the character 大, which is also sometimes used to spell this name, as seen in the illustration at right.
