What Does the Name Teona Mean?
Teona is a feminine given name used chiefly in Georgia. It is usually explained as a Georgian form of a Greek name built on theos (θεός), "god," the element behind many names that entered Georgia with Orthodox Christianity. The most common account connects it with the ancient Greek name Theonoe (Θεονόη), formed from theos and noos (νοῦς), "mind," so that its literal sense is "divine mind."
A second account links Teona instead to other theo- names such as Theodora or Theodosia, whose sense is "gift of God." The shortening of any of these Greek names into the Georgian form Teona is not documented, so the exact source name is uncertain and the meaning should be treated as an interpretation rather than a settled fact.
Teona Name History & Origins
Greek names entered Georgian through the Christian church, which the country adopted in the fourth century; Georgian adapted them to its own sound system and often shortened them. If Teona does come from Theonoe, the source name reaches back to classical Greece: Theonoe appears as a character in Greek myth and drama, notably as the prophetess daughter of Proteus in Euripides' Helen, and the related masculine name Theon was borne by the fourth-century mathematician Theon of Alexandria, father of Hypatia.
In Georgia, Teona is a familiar feminine name. It also appears among Georgian communities abroad and, less often, in other countries.
