📖 Über Taís
Taís ist die portugiesische Variante des altgriechischen Namens Thaïs, dessen Bedeutung mit Heilung und Wiederherstellung verbunden ist. Von der berühmten athenischen Hetäre an der Seite Alexanders des Großen über die büßende Heilige von Alexandria bis zur Heldin von Massenets Oper trägt dieser Name jahrtausendealte Tiefe. In Brasilien entwickelte er sich zu einer eleganten, modernen Form, die zugleich klassisch und zeitgemäß wirkt.
