Tauros' name is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, ''Kentauros'', which comes from {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} Κένταυρος, {{wp|Centaur}}. It could also be a misspelling of ''{{wp|Centaurus}}''. It is worth noting that ''Taurus'', Latin for bull and another likely inspiration for Tauros' English name, is also the name of {{wp|Taurus (constellation)|another constellation}}. | Tauros' name is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, ''Kentauros'', which comes from {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} Κένταυρος, {{wp|Centaur}}.
