- From 高景 (takakake) or つらこえ (tsurakoe).
- From ta meaning "tall" (高い (takai)) + ke, ancient form of 木 (ki, “tree”).
- A contraction of 痛快茎延へ (itakukihae), referring to the speed at which bamboo grows.
- Ta is from Korean 대 (dae, “bamboo”) (see also 대나무 (daenamu, “bamboo”, literally “bamboo tree”)), while ke is an ancient form of 木 (ki).
