Dialectal taque, ‘a nail’ (cogn. with English ‘tack’); but it is much more likely to be the first element of a Norse Thak- name [Old Norse þakk, later þökk (Dano-Norwegian tak) = Old English þanc, thought, favour, grace (thanks): see under Tancred] with the French diminutive suff. -et (-on in the case of Tacon).
