Teiws is another Gothic deity that has been recorded but not much is know about, we can easily see that the cognate to the Proto-Germanic Tīwaz, was later called Teiws in Gothic thus their similarities. Like Gautr before him Teiws might have also been the tribe's mythical, eponymous ancestor, possibly related to Týrfingr the mythical sword, 'the finger' of the god Týr. Teiws himself was known Among the Tervingi and their elites of the Balth dynasty who might have claim descents from Teiws himself which was stated by Jordanes in Getica.
