Teg is Welsh in Origin.
Teg is a short, striking name with two distinct lineages. In Welsh, teg means “fair, beautiful” and also “just,” a Brythonic word shared with Cornish and Breton. It appears in medieval Welsh literature as an epithet (e.g., Tegau Eurfron) and survives in compounds like Tegan and Tegwen. As a standalone given name it is rare but established in modern Wales and Britain for any gender. In Punjabi/Sikh contexts, Teg is a spelling variant of Tegh, from Persian tegh “sword,” evoking courage and linked to Guru Tegh Bahadur.
Usage splits along these roots: unisex and descriptive in Welsh, primarily masculine and honorific in Sikh naming. Related forms include Tegan, Tegwen, Tegid, Tegau (Welsh), and Tegh, Teghbir, Teghjeet, Teghveer (Punjabi). Meanings span “fair/beautiful; equitable” on the Welsh side and “sword; valor” on the Punjabi/Sikh side.
