Etymology
Unknown. Isebaert suggests the term is borrowed from Scythian, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (“horn”),[1][2] however the expected outcome in contemporary Proto-Sarmatian would likely be *sarand(ar), not **θaran-tara-, as he reconstructs. Alternatively borrowed from Proto-Finno-Ugric *šardo, *šardō, *šordō.[3] There doesn't appear to be any link to Ancient Greek ταῦρος (taûros).
