Name Legend haes it that the ceety is cried "Tajura" acause a lang time ago, a bonnie queen uised tae rule Tajura an her name wis Ura, an she haed a jeweled croun, which wis cried a taj in Arabic. Ane day, this queen lost her taj, an she ordered her fowk tae leuk for it. Her fowk stairtit tae leuk for her taj bi sayin whaur is taj Ura, an thay niver foond it, but the ceety wis named efter the searchers' cry: "Tajura".
