Taras (name)

Taras is a male Russian and Ukrainian given name. It is probably derived from Taras, son of the god Poseidon.

The spread of the name in that country is explained by its association with Taras Shevchenko, a national poet and unifying figure for the Ukrainian nation. Naming children by that name came to signify the allegiance to the national cause in a Ukrainian family. Notable people with the name include:

  • Taras Chopik (born 1972), a Ukrainian footballer
  • Taras Chornovil (born 1964), a Ukrainian politician
  • Taras Chubay (born 1970), a Ukrainian musician and poet

gollark: How come the standard library's `re` doesn't have anything like `findAll` but returning the *positions* of each match?
gollark: I ran my program through `valgrind` to check if it was horribly leaking memory (it doesn't seem to be). It says `Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation at 0x33DD0A: renderToHtml__rZvmxUK6kmA9c1R4XvQQuAw`, should I be worried?
