Teixeira (, ) is a Galician-Portuguese surname based on the toponym ''Teixeira'', derived from ''teixo'' "yew tree" (Latin ''taxus''). The progenitors of the name were a "Noble Portuguese Marrano family, originally bearing the surname of Sampayo," and the Teixeira coat of arms was conferred "in accordance with a decree of King Philip IV of Spain" in 1643. A less frequent variant spelling is ''Texeira''. The variant ''Técher'' is common in the highlands of Reunion Island, notably in the Cilaos area.
