Meaning & History

This name is probably derived from Greek τηρέω (tereo), which can mean "to guard" as well as "to obey, to observe, to attend to carefully". However, it is also possible that it is derived from Greek τερέω (tereo) meaning "to bore through, to pierce". In Greek mythology, Tereus was a Thracian king who was the son of the war god Ares.
