Tero
tare-oh
Origin:Finnish
Meaning:Manly, masculine; Earth
With a name like Tero, your little one will know that qualities like strength, determination, and helpfulness are universal. While you may recognize tero as the word for "earth" in several languages, it is also a Finnish masculine title. As a shortened form of Antero, the Finnish form of the Greek moniker Andrew, Tero translates to "manly" or "masculine." It may also stem from Terentius, the original Roman form of Terence. Though Terentius has no known definitions, its spelling and sound are well-represented in Tero. Phrases like "manly" and "masculine" will be replaced with affirmations like "capable" and "powerful" in sweet Tero's vocabulary.
