Misfortune or bad luck; possibly related to Mount Tabor
Tavoris is a modern American invention, likely a creative elaboration of the name Trevor or the biblical place name Tabor. In Latin contexts, it is sometimes associated with 'misfortune', though its usage in the US is primarily stylistic rather than etymological. It gained some visibility in the late 20th century within African American communities.
