ArchivesRe: origins & meanings of Tesreau
in reply to a message by Krista Tesreau
Tesreau (Tesseraud, Tesserault, Tessereau, Tesserot) is originally from the Pays de Loire/ Poitou-Charentes, and may derive from 'Tessier' meaning weaver (modern French: Tisserand).

Tessaro is an Italian surname meaning "one who wove cloth, or a weaver". Could Tessaro possibly be a variation of Tesreau ? Their spellings & pronunciations are very similiar.

That would imply that the Tessaro's are of French descent, which I doubt. Linguistically speaking the names are related: Both are from Latin texere, 'to weave'.
