Tejera

TEJERA Spanish surname derived from *teja* (“roof tile”), originally referring to a place associated with tile-making or to an occupational connection with the production of tiles and roofing materials. The name appears in Iberian records prior to the colonial period and spread to the Americas through Spanish migration during the colonial era. As with many Iberian surnames, its presence alone does not indicate Jewish ancestry, but individuals bearing this name appear in historical contexts associated with converso and crypto-Jewish communities.
