"Gift of God"

From Greek

Teo means God — the Spanish/Italian form of Theo, carrying the same divine meaning through Romance-language vowels. It's Theo without the H: three letters of pure divinity. Teo sounds like a Mediterranean café at sunset — warm, golden, and effortlessly European. The most compact way to carry God in your name.
