The original Native American word for friend. Often thought to be Spanish, but used by the Caddo Indians long before the Spanish arrived. Bastardized by Spanish explorers and became known as the location now known as Texas.

(Adj) Someone who is awesome and cool

tejas means birghtness. Bright like Sun light.
missile name

Often time the name of an Indian boy which means brightness or halo in Sanskrit. This meaning is often misconstrued in the States because of the heavy Hispanic influence upon the English language. Often, it is thought to be derived from Texas, therefore causing the 'j' in the name to be pronounced like 'hay', i.e. 'tay'has'. In reality, the name should be pronounced like the 'tagious' in the word 'contagious.'

Slang for the state of Texas. Kind of a play on the western/hispanic influence.
