Meaning & History
Possibly derived from Greek τεῖρος (teiros) "constellations, heavenly signs" and εἴδω (eidô) "to see". This was the name of a blind seer who appears in many Greek myths. Due to objecting the goddess Hera in a debate with her husband Zeus, he lost his eyesight, but was given the ability to see into the future by Zeus. His most noteworthy appearances were in Homer's 'Odyssey', several of Sophokles' opus as well as Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'.
