The Meaning of the Name and Hints on its Pronounciation

Teyjus is a word in Sanskrit that, amongst other things, means sharpness, edge, brilliance, splendour, vitality, strength, and majesty. Many of these are properties that we would like the system to have in the end.

As with all words from a different language, and especially one with a rich variety of sounds not present in English, there is a question of what the 'right' transliteration for the name is. One found commonly in Sanskrit to English dictionaries is tég-as. However, we found it difficult to steer others to the right pronounciation using this way of writing the name and, of course, we would like everyone to pronounce the name correctly. The way we have chosen to write the name might make the task easier. Here is some help: try saying 'Tey' like you would 'Day' except for replacing the first letter with 'T', and 'jus' like you would 'just' but leaving out the last letter. This should get you close; unfortunately, there is no sound in English exactly like the one the first 'T' is intended to represent.
