About Vishakha Nakshatra Names
Names beginning with the syllables "Ti, Tu, Te, To" (one per pada) are traditionally assigned to children born under Vishakha (విశాఖ) Nakshatra in the Telugu/Andhra naming tradition. The pada (quarter) of the nakshatra at the moment of birth determines which specific syllable applies — Teja belongs to Pada 3 (syllable "Te").
