'Ing' comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'ingas' which means 'group of people' so it might normally mean 'town of Ted's people', but Brainstorm's explanation also sounds good.

Two-Ton Ted from Teddington, that's how it got its name. From Benny Hill as Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West.

It derives from an old English tribal leader (Probably called Teddington).

It's a corruption of Tide end town. It's the highest point that the tide comes up the Thames estuary.

Are you talking Middlesex or Gloucestershire ?
Nothing is ever `just a name` everything has a meaning.
