I think Comay has good reasons not to give a meaning.
M.Noth says, the biblical text is corrupt and we should read SHUTELAH instead - but then does not give a meaning of that name.
The Hebrew dictionary has nothing to offer that even from afar looks like TELAH or SHUTELAH.
However, various books with biblical names do give meanings, and I wonder where they take them from:
TELACH: fracture, strength
SHUTELAH: upheaval, crashing of a lightning, plantation (“shut” in Hebrew) of Telah
Very obscure, I should say ...
