Tetlow is an English topographic surname deriving from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Taeta and hlaw (hill) or leah (wood) meaning ‘Taete’s hill’ or ‘Taete’s wood’. The surname originated from the estate named Tetlow in Broughton and Cheetham, near Manchester, Lancashire, England, which was owned by the Tetlow family in the fourteenth century.[1] A branch of this family later lived in Oldham: The Tetlows of Chamber Hall, Oldham, were an ancient gentry family who lived at Chamber Hall from at least the 1320s until 1646.[2][3]
