The work done allows us to draw several conclusions and assumptions. First, the large number of "Taurian" names in the region does not indicate a strong expansion of the area of Taurian identity. Although the vernacular region of Tavria confidently registered in the mass consciousness. Its borders have not yet been formed and vary greatly - from the left bank of the Kherson region to the entire Ukrainian Black Sea and Azov, ie. Kherson, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia, Odessa regions and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Different variants of the toponym Tavria / Tauride have if not different semantics, then different geographical connotations. Tavria is more related to the Northern Black Sea coast and part of the Ukrainian Azov Sea, and Tauride to the Crimea. If we talk about regional identity, we can assume that such a prevalence of "Taurian" names can lead to the formation of "Taurian" identity - at least in the Kherson region. And in this process, it is the market economy that is already doing a lot - the new "Taurian names" are the most common among the names of goods, although many of them are among toponyms. In the southern region of Ukraine, the situation is favorable for the formation of "Taurian" identity, and several successful campaigns could take it to the next level. All this creates a favorable background for political intervention. The problem has its political dimension, as the temporarily occupied Crimea is also in the process of forming a discourse of the Tauride as a Russian region.
