Taxiarch information


Taxiarch, the anglicised form of taxiarchos or taxiarchē (Greek: ταξίαρχος or ταξιάρχη[1]) is used in the Greek language to mean "brigadier". The term derives from táxis, "order", in military context "an ordered formation". In turn, the rank has given rise to the Greek term for brigade, taxiarchia. In Greek Orthodox Church usage, the term is also applied to the archangels Michael and Gabriel, as leaders of the heavenly host, and several locations in Greece are named after them.

  1. ^ Latter is the form for woman equivalent of the former.
