Terron in England Rob Terron writes that his "family name originated
in Italy and was originally 'Terroni'. The family emigrated to America around 1920's and subsequently to England. During
the second world war there was a lot of anti-Italian feeling and 'Terroni' became 'Terron',
(well that's the story I've always been told)!! There is another branch of the family in the north of Scotland."
Is there a Finnish connection? No. If one does a search on the name
Teron in the internet, one will find numerous sites starting with the name
Teron using the Finnish language. However, there is no connection to our

possessive form of the name. In other words, "Teron home site" in Finnish
means "Tero's home site".
Who is Lord Teron Gorefiend?
There is a popular game called WarCraft II that features as one of its characters:
People who play the game set up web pages using his name so if you search the web for Teron, you will find numerous strange sites with the Teron name. Does anyone recognize him as being part of their history??
"Lord Teron Gorefiend is described as a monstrous hybrid of life and death who radiates the chill of the grave to all who stand near him. In his presence, plant life wilts and dies, as do lesser animals, and few can escape the clutch of fear that accompanies the biting caress of his aura. His mere touch causes frostbite if it is prolonged, and his hands can smash through wood and leather as if they were nothing. Those who stumble into him find him unyielding as a mountain, nor can he feel pain, since his nerve endings long ago crumbled away into dust and ashes. He knows neither fear nor pity, but moves forward always, remorseless and relentless, to complete any task he has chosen."
"He wears always a black, tattered cloak whose hem is laced with interwoven threads of gold, and beneath it, an ancient black burial shroud. A dark grey, moth-eaten scarf is wrapped about his visage, hiding it from view, and a hood casts his face into shadows. From these shadows flare brilliant, burning red eyes, aglow with unholy fire."
