Tejay
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Tejay: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2005.
Tejay is a modern coinage, most often a creative respelling of the initials T.J., which can stand for any two names such as Thomas James or Tony John. Its usage in Scotland reflects a contemporary trend for adapting initials into given names, particularly from American influences. The most prominent bearer is the Scottish professional cyclist Tejay van Garderen, who was born in Tacoma, Washington, to a Dutch father and American mother, yet has represented Great Britain in road racing. No specific places share this name directly, though the structure mirrors names like Trey or Jace. Notably, Tejay remains rare in official Scottish records, appearing only occasionally since the 2000s, and is almost exclusively given to boys.
