Tesky Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This is a Palatine surname introduced into Ireland at the time of the German Palatine settlement in Co. Limerick in 1709.

(O) TEVLIN I have not found the Gaelic form of this name: it may be Ó Teibhlin or the analogy of Ó Seibhlin for Shevlin. The suggestion that Tevlin may be a local form of Shevlin seems unlikely etymologically; but before rejecting this it should be borne in mind that the area in which the name Tevlin is almost exclusively found is adjacent to that of Shevlin.† The Tevlins are located in Co. Cavan and in north Meath, especially around Kells. In the former it is also spelt Tevelin. James Tevlin (1798-1873), poet and schoolmaster, was a Co. Cavan man.

†See O'Shevlin, p. 136 supra.
