[Facts] The Name Tesho
by Athena Nike

Does anybody have any idea what the name Tesho could mean? I came across it in a family tree, and apparently, it's a masculine name. However, they didn't list Tesho's ethnic background or other further information. His last name was Shama. TIA!"What is left when the memory is gone?" Thornton Wilder, Our Town

The name Tesho (Тешо) could be South-Slavic (Bulgarian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, ..).http://www.imenata.com/name-view-1661.htmlThe above site claims that the name Tesho is abbreviation of Uteshen/Uteshan which means Consolated.This site (BTN) gives Arabic origin of the name Shama. The Turkish word şamar (meaning cuff, slap in the face; also a loanword in Bulgarian) could also be an origin of the last name Shama, after shortening.

If you found it in a family tree, can you at least give the surname(s) associated with it? That might give a hint as to ethnic background.
