This was a popular name in Poland at the turn of the 19th century.
Although pretty rare, it is also used in Poland. It always struck me as an old lady name but just recently I've met a little girl named Tekla and I must say, it is rather sweet on a small child.
This is also used in Poland.
Looking back at the Name Days page, I bet Tekla is used in all of the countries that have a name day for it. :)
My name is Tekla and it is Swedish in my case!
Also used in Sweden.
Tekla is also the Georgian form of Thekla.In Georgian, Tekla is written as: თეკლა.
