In the Russian wild, where whispers dance Taras stirs the air with mystic chants A name ensconced in ancient lore Where legends rise and creatures soar From misty peaks to rivers wide Taras casts a spell, a guide Through realms of dreams and earthly plains A name that magic deftly claims.
Also the character of popular Ukranian book 'Taras Bulba'.

I suggest anyone who names a son Taras here in the U.S. gives them a middle name they can use in place of their first name. Most people who are not Slavs will have a lot of trouble pronouncing it, or they may mistake it for a girl's name.
I have something to say about the name and the etymology as described in the database.Taras is a name that comes from Greek mythology: he was the son of Poseidon and the nymph Satyrion. Ancient Greek colonists from Sparta founded a city in modern-day Italy and named the city Taras, after him. The Romans, however, called it Tarentum.Taras itself does not mean "from Tarentum", and neither does Tarasios. Tarasios is simply a form or derivation of Taras. As for the etymology of Taras itself: I believe it comes from an ancient Greek word for "rebel, mutineer" - but I don't dare say this for certain.
