As you can see, the names all originate from, roughly-speaking, the
same part of the world, and suggest very strongly that the rarely-used
surname [ Telliga ] has similar origins and is, in fact, a variant
spelling of one of these more common surnames.
So, the name Telliga may have originated from a number of countries in
this part of the world, but seems most closely linked to Hungary,
Germany and Austria.
