What is the meaning of the name Taron ?

The baby name Taron is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TAR-on.

Taron is Armenian, Gaulish, Welsh in Origin.

Taron is best treated as a name with overlapping sources. In Armenian, Տարօն, modern Տարոն, Taron or Tarōn, is first a historical district of ancient Armenia, centered around Mush; its literal sense is not securely recoverable. In the Celtic line, Taron is a modern spelling of Taran, Welsh taran, thunder, with an older divine name Gaulish Taranis, formed from the Celtic thunder root *torano- plus the theonymic ending -is.

As an Armenian masculine given name, Taron evokes the region associated with early Armenian Christianity, noble houses, and medieval historiography. The Celtic-related Taran appears in early Britain, including Taran mac Ainftech, a seventh-century Pictish king; Taranis is attested in Roman-era inscriptions. Modern Taron remains uncommon in English, noticed especially through Welsh actor Taron Egerton and occasional American usage since the late twentieth century.
