About Tarasiy
Tarasiy, a name of Russian and Ukrainian origin, is the derivative of Tarasios, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek word "Tárās," meaning oak. This name is closely associated with Greek mythology, as Taras was believed to be the son of Poseidon and the nymph Satyrion.
In Greek legend, Taras was the founder of the Greek colony of Taras (modern-day Taranto) in Magna Graecia. The harbor near Taranto, Torre Saturo, is still named after Satyrion. Notably, the first colony in the Taranto zone was established by Spartan colonists in Torre Saturo.
