Tezh is a modern Armenian given name derived from the adjective Թեժ, meaning “fiery, ardent, heated,” and by extension “intense, passionate.” The 'zh' represents the soft j sound in measure. As a personal name it has emerged in recent decades in Armenia and the diaspora, part of a trend of adopting evocative native words as concise, gender-neutral names. It conveys energy and a spirited temperament, akin to Armenian choices Arev or Arpi that draw on elemental imagery.

Variants and transliterations include Tež (using ž in scholarly transliteration) and T’ej; Tej also appears, though that spelling overlaps with an unrelated Indo-Aryan name from Sanskrit tejas “radiance.” Because of this convergence, some families outside Armenia prefer Tezh/Tež to preserve the Armenian sense. Though still rare, usage is growing in Armenian-speaking communities in Europe and North America. Nickname options are minimal; some speakers use playful Tez or Tezi.
