Teramo

Likely derived from Teramo, the name of a city in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Its name comes from the first part of its ancient Roman name, which was Interamnia Praetutiorum. It essentially means "between the two rivers of the Praetutii" in Latin, derived from the Latin words inter meaning "between" and amnis meaning "river, stream" combined with Praetutii, the name of an Italic tribe. This refers to the fact that the city was originally the capital city of the Praetutii and that it was built at the confluence of two rivers, which are now known as the Tordino and the Vezzola.

Notable Italian bearers of this name include the Genovese painter Teramo Piaggio (died before 1562), the Genovese merchant Teramo Canevari (1511-1592) and the Genovese missionary Teramo Castelli (1597-1659).
