Meaning & Origin
Alternative form of Teos (“ancient Greek city”).
Teo is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, a short form of Theodore (Greek Theodoros meaning 'gift of God') or Matteo (Italian form of Matthew). Teo is used across Italy, Spain, and other Romance-language countries as both a standalone name and a nickname.
Teo has a warm, breezy Mediterranean feel — three letters with an open vowel ending that makes it feel friendly and sun-drenched. It is the kind of name that sounds like it belongs on the Amalfi Coast. Short, sweet, and genuinely charming, it is gaining traction in the U.S. among families with Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese heritage.
