Historical Context
Taron, written Տարոն in Armenian, is the name of a historic district of Greater Armenia, centred on the Muş plain in what is now eastern Turkey. It is also used as a masculine personal name in Armenian communities. The deeper etymology of the place name is not securely established.
Taron is sometimes linked in English-language naming sources with Welsh taran, meaning thunder, and with the name Taran. The spellings are similar, but Taron also has its own established Armenian place-name tradition, so the thunder meaning is not certain for this exact form.
