The name Teige, pronounced 'Teej', of Irish origin, is derived from the ancient name Tighernach. It means 'Victor' or 'Conqueror'. The name was borne by several early Irish saints, including Saint Tigernach of Clones, who lived in the 6th century. In Ireland, Teige is often used as a shortened form of other names like Teigín and Tadhg. The name has also been used in Scotland, with some records showing it being passed down through generations of highland families.
"Teige experienced a notable peak with 10 births in 2004, followed by fluctuations ranging between 5 and 9 births until 2013."
