Taurini tribe = highlanders and not the bull-ones

Hello

Taurini people (ligurian or Celtic tribe) lived in Cisalpine with city Taurasia or Taurasion

there is connexion between the Taurini name and the "bull" = the bull ones

 

but Taurini lived near from Alpes like Taurisques (North Italy in montains)

I think this name means "Highlanders" with IE root Thor- (?) = mountain

like Taure-dunum city on Lac Léman = the fortress on the mountain

may be connexion with Celtic Turno- = mountain Turno-durum = Tonnerre (Yonne)

see Old Breton Torn- and Welsh Turno = hill

and Middel Irish Ta(i)rr and Scot Tòir = Hill 

and Breton Tarr-os = escarpment and Welsh Tarren = Mound

 

Latin Turris

Grec Tyrsis
