Teo
Boy name · 46 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Teo: 46 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2015.
Often considered a diminutive of Theodore or its equivalents Teodoro (Italian/Spanish) and Teodor (Scandinavian/Slavic), Teo ultimately comes from Greek Theodorus, meaning “gift of God.” Notable real-life bearers include Colombian footballer Teo Gutiérrez, Italian racing driver Teo Fabi, and American jazz composer Teo Macero. Its etymological root appears in place names like San Teodoro in Italy and the Philippines, honouring Saint Theodore. In Scotland, Teo is a crisp, international alternative to the more traditional Theo or Thomas, blending brevity with a timeless meaning.
