Tebah 
Tebah is a son of Nahor with Reumah.
The name Tebah comes from (tabah 786) meaning to slaughter, butcher, slay, kill. The basic meaning of this root is to deliberately slaughter or butcher an animal for food. Metaphorically the verb is used to indicate the preparation of wisdom for foolish mankind (Prov 9:2), or the description of a foolish young man's fate when he nears a prostitute for the wrong reasons (Prov 7:22). The verb is usually subject to the element of planning (Jer 11:19), and used for the sacrificial slaughter, eventually even the Messianic offering (Isa 53:7), and the release of all nations (Isa 34:2). The noun (tebah 786a) denotes the animal that is destined to be slaughtered. The noun (tabbah 786c) means butcher (or cook), and came to denote guardsmen or body guards (Gen 37:36)
The name Tebah most directly means Slaughter, but more practically he was probably known as Butcher.
