in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
Taran is the main character in the series The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, where most of the characters' names are from Welsh mythology. According to Wikipedia, Taran's name is also from the Mabinogion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabinogion), where Taran is the name of the father of a man named Glineu. It's is the Welsh word for thunder*, and may be related to the Gaulish god Taranis.
