What 寊 means

A name-writing character, not an everyday word.

集韻 (Jiyun) is a Chinese dictionary that groups characters by rhyme. Completed in 1039, it records 寊 in the name of a son of the Prince of Qi during China's Later Zhou dynasty. Japanese references list テイ (tei, roughly “tay”) and チョウ (chō, “choh” with a long o) as readings, not as a common Japanese word.
