Name origin
Tauros is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, Kentauros. It is worth noting that Taurus, Latin for bull (which comes from the Greek tauros), is the name of a constellation representing a bull. Tauros could also be a corruption of Toro (Spanish for bull).
Kentauros is derived from the Japanese ケンタウロス centaur, which itself derives from the Greek Κένταυρος. It could also be a corruption of Centaurus, a large south-sky constellation representing a centaur.
