Taft /taft/ [1 syll.] as a boys' name is of Old French origin, and the meaning of Taft is homestead. Also possibly (Old English) marsh; river. William Howard Taft was 26th American President and was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after his retirement from politics.
The surname often indicates that one's ancestors lived in a place called Brent, but it can also come from the Middle English word brent meaning burned, indicating that one's ancestor either lived near a burned-over area, or was a criminal who had been branded on the cheek.
