History & Origin
Teala is a modern American coinage. The likeliest reading ties it to the color teal, part of the taste for gentle nature-and-color names, though it may equally be a dressed-up spelling of Tila or Tela.
It was never common, cresting around 1985 and appearing thinly since. It reads as a soft contemporary coinage rather than an inherited name, and it has stayed rare.
