Tauri is a gender-neutral name of Latin origin, meaning "Star Name." The name is derived from the ancient Tauri people, who inhabited the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula and the Crimean Mountains in the 1st millennium BC. The Tauri were known for their worship of a virgin goddess and their practice of sacrificing shipwrecked travelers and waylaid Greeks. They intermixed with the Scythians and later underwent Roman rule, eventually being subsumed by the Alans and Goths. The Tauri also played a significant role in the development and settlement of the Kizil-Koban Culture. The name Tauri reflects a rich history and a connection to ancient civilizations, making it a meaningful and unique choice for individuals of any gender.
