Name
Tenetiše was first attested in written sources in 1322 as ''Tenetsach'' (and as ''Tenetischczs'' in 1345 and ''Tenetischcz'' in 1374). The name ''Tenetišče'' (a feminine plural noun) is derived from the earlier plural demonym ''*Tenetiščane'', meaning 'residents of Tenetišče' (a neuter singular noun). This, in turn, is derived from the common noun ''*teneto'' or ''*tenetъ'' 'hunting net', and may refer to a hunting area where small game or birds were caught using nets. Tenetiše was known as ''Tenetische'' in German in the past.
