Taurus
Meaning of Taurus
Derived from the Latin term taurus (“bull”), Taurus functions as a unisex name in English, pronounced /ˈtɔrəs/. Its principal associations lie in classical astronomy—as the designation of a prominent constellation—and in astrology, where Taurus occupies the second position in the zodiac and symbolizes constancy and determination. Mythology further reinforces its significance: the Cretan Bull and Zeus’s bovine transformation in Greek lore underline themes of strength and metamorphosis. In the United States, Taurus has held a modest but stable presence since the early 2020s, ranking between 907th and 918th and accounting for 10 to 18 newborns annually, with ten recorded in 2024. For parents seeking a name with historical depth and clear symbolic resonance, Taurus offers a precise fusion of classical heritage and modern distinctiveness.
