Tatum carries an artistic, bohemian quality, perhaps influenced by jazz legend Art Tatum or celebrated actors bearing the name. It suggests creativity, individuality, and confidence. The name avoids common endings like -en or -on, making it stand out in contemporary naming trends. Parents selecting Tatum often appreciate understated coolness and names that work professionally while retaining personality. It's memorable without being peculiar.
