Tevye, a Hebrew name of Biblical origin, is derived from the word "teva," meaning 'nature' or 'creature'. It was the name of one of Jacob's twelve sons and consequently one of the twelve tribes of Israel in the Old Testament. In Jewish tradition, Tevye is often associated with the story of his daughter, who married a man against her father's wishes, leading to a profound change in their relationship. This tale was famously retold by Sholem Aleichem in his stories about Tevye the Dairyman, later adapted into the popular musical "Fiddler on the Roof".
"Tevye was chosen as a baby name ten times between 2014 and 2021."
