== History == The name Tebicuary derives from the Guarani language expression Teyikuera which is a possible reference to the tribes named Teyy. The Teyy people used to inhabit the current departments of Misiones and Paraguarí. In this area runs a river also named Tebicuary which is a tributary of the Paraguay River. As the Spanish conquistadors mispronounced the name of the tribe, the original Guarani name evolved into the current spelling.
