Tewolde Surname Meaning
Ethiopian and Eritrean: from the personal name Tewolde, a variant of Tewelde which is interpreted as e.g. ‘he was born’ in the Ge’ez, Amharic or related languages.
— Note: Since Ethiopians and Eritreans do not have hereditary surnames, this name was registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
