Teague, of Irish origin, is a unique and distinctive given name that has been passed down through generations. It derives from the Old Irish word 'Tuaradh,' which translates to 'swiftness' or 'agility.' The name was traditionally used for boys, although it can also be used as a girls' name today due to its unisex nature. Teague is often associated with St. Teague, an Irish saint from the 6th century who was known for his bravery and devotion. While not widely popular, this name offers a rare and interesting choice for parents seeking something different.
The name Teague experienced a resurgence with 6 births in both 1992 and 2007. However, the years between these peaks saw relatively consistent numbers of around 5 births annually.
