Tejas refers to the early name for Texas, derived from the Caddo word "taysha," meaning "friend" or "ally." This term became prominent during the Spanish colonial period and was used to describe the region and its Indigenous peoples. In the early 19th century, Tejas was central to the Texas Revolution, as American settlers sought independence from Mexico, leading to the establishment of the Republic of Texas in 1836. The term is now often associated with Texas's cultural heritage and history.
