Teunis is a Dutch masculine given name. Like Theunis, it is a derivative of Antonius (Anthony). It is also considered a diminutive form of Antonius, Anton, Antoon, Anthonis, Anthoon, Antonie, and Antonis used in Belgium, Netherlands, Suriname, South Africa, Namibia, and Indonesia. Its popularity as a birth name has dropped since the middle of the last century, taken over partially by its short form Teun.Teunis at the Meertens Institute database of given names in the Netherlands. People with the name include:
