What Tarazjusz means
Where Tarazjusz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Tarazjusz comes from Greek, and its meaning points to a place: from Tarentum. Tarentum was the Roman name for Taras, the Greek colony on the heel of Italy now called Taranto. The name marks a person by origin, someone tied to that old harbour city.
The Greek form behind it is Tarasios. Its most documented bearer is Saint Tarasios, patriarch of Constantinople from 784 to 806. He presided over the Second Council of Nicaea in 787. That is where the Polish Tarazjusz has its historical footing.
In Poland the name stayed rare. A boy called Tarazjusz would notice it in a school register, listed once among the Jakubs and Kacpers. His name day falls on 25 February, the feast of Saint Tarasios. The short meaning holds steady: pochodzący z Tarentum, from Tarentum.
When Tarazjusz celebrates name day
Tarazjusz appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 25 February.
