History & Origin

Teyon is a coined boys' name pairing the Te- prefix with a -yon ending. It appears in United States records from the late 1980s, part of a wave of inventive Te- names.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its late-eighties high. A boy named Teyon then is in his thirties now, from a generation fond of fresh, self-made names.

Did you know? It sits in the Te- family beside Tevon and Teron, coined for its sound more than for a set meaning.
