Origin: Dutch

Meaning: Highly praiseworthy

Teunis is a boy’s name of Latin and Etruscan origin. It’s most commonly used in Dutch, where it’s also considered an alternative to Antonius or Anthony. Given just how popular the originals have been in Christianity—thanks to saints and figures of the Christian Bible—it’s no wonder that it’s come to mean “highly praiseworthy.” Give your tiny tot a name as noble as Teunis, and praiseworthy is exactly what they’ll be to those who get to know them.
