Tenho

1. a male given name
   • 2000, Juhani Syrjä, “Juho 34-63”, in Juho, Gummerus, published 2008, →ISBN, page 421:

     Keijo vanhempana toimi perämiehenä. Yrittävä Tenho otti vastaan valmista tavaraa. Kyläpuheessa poikia kutsuttiin Tenuksi ja Kessuksi vastoin heidän äitinsä kauneusaistia. Marttaankin taisi nimiväännös vaikuttaa, kun hän piti Kessua vähän roikalemaisena poikana ja Juhanille huonona seurana. Minä häntä tästä arviostaan myöhemmin muistutin, kun Keijo kasvatti Kopran sahan mahtavaksi laitokseksi aivan rehellisillä tempuilla.

     Keijo as the older man was the helmsman. The entrepreneurial Tenho received the ready goods. Among the villagers the boys were called Tenu and Kessu, much to the chagrin of their mother's sensibilities. Martta too seems to have been affected, as she considered Kessu to be a little repulsive and bad company for Juhani. I later reminded her of this, when Keijo turned the Kopra sawmill into a significant facility entirely through honest means.
