While working in Sweden many years ago I was told there that the name was an old Swedish name meaning a goatherd. On returning to the UK I looked up some references to heraldry and found a Yates coat of arms with both gates and goats' heads. The motto "pro rege pro patria' for king and country. Surnames: Yates Submitted by: G Yates Origin of Tes, Meaning of Tes Origin: Yantis and it's variants, Gentess Gentiss Yandes, were almost all originally spelled Gentes, but pronounced as beginning with a "Y". After much research with ancient French, it turns out that Gentes had an an alternative spelling at one time, Jantes. Since the Alsace-Lorraine where the family was once owned by France and Germany, it seems likely that it comes from Schweisserdeutch, an Alsatian dialect. The German pronunciation for "J" would be "Y". It is not hard to conceive a middleground for the "G" to be pronounced as a "Y". Gentes was used interchangeably with the word sauvage, as it stems from the latin word gentis, to mean a non-Roman (i.e., Gentium, peoples of the world). Another more familiar derivative is genus, meaning race. Hence, Yantis means savage, or common people Surnames: Yantis Yantes Gentes Gentess Gentiss Yandes Yandess Submitted by: John Yantis Origin of Tes, Meaning of Tes Origin: origin....italian...estee or d'este wine county italy... Surnames: estes Submitted by: robin Origin of Tes, Meaning of Tes Origin: The Tessada surname is Catalan in origin, according to most accounts. Specifically from Barcelona, where the name still exists. It is probably a distortion or the Catalan equivant of the surname Tejada, which is an occupational origin (someone who works with tiles). However, the family did immigrate to Italy, where they intermarried with Italian families. There were Tessadas in Finale Marina and Genoa as early as the late 1700s. Finale Marina had been under Spanish rule for a century (17th-early 18th). The Tessada family were merchant-bankers, as well as poets, artists, revolutionaries, and musicians. They intermarried with the Grillo, Curiel, Vierci, and Canessa families, to name a few. Postcards dating from the mid to late 19th century show that the Italian Tessadas were still very close with their Spanish cousins. Many Tessadas immigrated to Latin America in the 19th century after they won their independence from Spain. The Tessadas traditionally have a unflinching intolerance of totalitarian and dogmatic regimes.
