OK, looked a bit more thoroughly. So, there is a band called "Captain and Tennille" - I didn't know! I'm quite sure, however, that Tennille is just an unusual way of spelling the more common name Teneil, and your name seems to be an amalgamation of Tennille and Teneil.

Teneil is an existing name (although not appearing in this database), and yours must be a variant of it. In doing a brief search on www.google.com I found that it is also a popular name to give to (usually female) fictional characters in role-playing games and the like. I'm not immediately familar with captain Teneil (but I believe that must be the correct spelling you're named after, since "captain Teneil" often figured on the search results); if this captain is male, a good bet is that your name is an attempt to create a female version of it: Tenielle.
I'm sorry I couldn't find the name's origin and meaning. I suppose it *could* share a common ancestry with Danielle, but that's just a wild guess. Another is that it might mean "daughter of Neil" in some old rural dialect of English or Gaelic. Those are just guesses, however.
