Meaning & History

This name combines 哲 (tetsu, aki.raka, satoi, saba.ku, shi.ru, te') meaning "clear, philosophy", 鉄 (tetsu, kurogane, te') meaning "iron" or 徹 (tetsu, te') meaning "clear, penetrate, pierce, sit up (all night), strike home" with 平 (hyou, byou, hei, tai.ra, -daira, hira, hira-) meaning "even, flat, peace" or 兵 (hyou, hei, tsuwamono, he) meaning "army, private, soldier, strategy, tactics, troops, warfare."

As a word, Teppei (撤兵) refers to a withdrawal of troops, although this is only a word and isn't used as a name.

Bearers of this name include actor and singer Teppei Koike (小池 徹平) (1986-) and professional baseball infielder Teppei Tsuchiya (土谷 鉄平) (1982-).

Note that the p̚ is an unreleased stop.
