Teihivenator

probably "Tagus hunter" (first element unverified)

• Teihi · uncertain · probably a reference to the Tagus (Tejo) river region of Portugal (unverified)
• venator · Latin · hunter

The second half of the name is the Latin "venator", meaning "hunter", a common ending for predatory theropod names. My recollection is that the first half, "Teihi", refers to an old name for the Tagus (Tejo) river in Portugal, which would make the name roughly "Tagus hunter". I'm not certain of that derivation.
