The Argentinean footballer Claudio Bieler who plays for LDU Quito in Ecuador is apparently known by the nickname "El Taca", and I was wondering what this means.

- ¿Por qué le dicen “Taca”? - El apodo de “Taca” me lo puso mi abuelo, no me atreví a preguntarle por qué. Luego de muchos años, mi mamá me contó que se debía a un luchador que se llamaba Taca-Shama, también me decían Taca-Jara, pero me quedé como “Taca”.

So, it seems it's just a fighter's name, without any meaning.

Ah, y en España, esto es un taca-taca:

Taca can mean stain (mancha) but I shouldn't think that this would apply. I have a funny feeling that I've seen 'taca' used to mean 'bulls-eye' or as an exclamation when someone hits the bulls-eye but I can't find anything to back that up.

Taca is also an airline but if he's named after that, hopefully he plays better than they fly.
