Whether the form "Teo-" or "Theo-" occurs in English will depend on where the name is borrowed from in that particular instance. English is one of the rare languages where the "th" phoneme occurs. Most other European languages lost it or never had it (not even all Greek dialects used it). Note that in English there was a period where French trained scribes would have avoided it, even if native English speakers still used it in a name.
