in the principality of hess of my paternal lineage, a tiel is an image or the page of a book. either nathan teal, or one of his sons, had so many children that he spelled each of their names a little differently, thus mine is spelled teall, with two ells, and both the e and the a.

however, i am not personally a great believer in the whole perspective and culture of 'surnames' and believe everyone should be given a sufficiently unique name instead of being named after anyone. and one name should fail to be sufficiently unique, such as in a sufficiently large city, the personal name be then suplimented, not by ancestry, but by the village or neighborhood of birth.

much as was common practice, before the concept of surnames came into wide acceptance and use.

thus i prefer to go by themnax in all contexts where this is practical, and were this ever to fail of sufficient uniqueness, then it is themnax of lananara, for the world of my soul's home.

My name (upon a bit of research) shows = it originates either from a now "lost" medieval village believed to have been in the county of Derbyshire, or as a contracted form of reference to a person who lived outside of a main settlement.
The derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th Century "ut" meaning out in the sense of outer or external, plus "ham" a village or homestead

I reckon "Lost, and Outside the norm" description is quite an apt call
