Taurius is an uncommon given name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word 'taurus', which means 'bull'. It is also the Latin name for the constellation and zodiac sign Taurus, symbolized by a bull. In ancient Roman culture, Taurus was one of the 12 signs of the zodiac, associated with the earth element and the astrological period between April 20th and May 20th. This name has been used historically in various cultures but is not as widespread as some other names with Latin or Greek origins. The name Taurius could be interpreted as a symbol of strength, determination, and steadfastness, much like the bull that represents it.
Taurius was given to exactly five newborns in the year 2000.
