Tasmate is the name of several places in Vanuatu.
Etymology The term Tasmate means etymologically "dead sea" (from Proto-Oceanic *tasik 'sea', *mate 'dead'); it refers to places on the coast where the sea is quieter, and makes landing easier.
In the Proto-Torres–Banks language, ancestral to Mota and Mwerlap, it can be reconstructed as *tasimate.
