I'm puzzled by the tesla coil thing. The Czech Republic is not too far from where Nikola Tesla was born. Maybe Tesla is still a family name there, and there are lots of entries in Czech yellow pages websites with names like Tesla's Used Tires or suchlike. I know 4hv has several members from the Czech Republic so maybe they can comment.
I don't know a single person with "Tesla" surname. (here in CR). The search term is "tesla coil" - I think this has nothing to do with someone searching for Tesla surname.

Tesla was/is a large manufacturer in the Czech republic making radios and electronics equipment / parts. Perhaps this is what you are seeing.

That page should explain alot. To me it sounds like the search volumes are relative rather than absolute. So all it means is that searches by people speaking czech who use google for tesla coil are greater percentage of all searches speaking czech using google than vice versa for english. Same goes for regions

Keep in mind that instead of measuring overall interest in a topic, Google Trends shows users' propensity to search for that topic on Google on a relative basis. For example, just because a particular region isn't on the Top Regions list for the term "haircut" doesn't necessarily mean that people there have decided to stage a mass rebellion against society's conventions. It could be that people in that region might not use Google to find a barber, use a different term when doing their searches, or simply search for so many other topics unrelated to haircuts that searches for "haircut" make up a very small portion of the search volume from that region when compared to other regions.
.

ISP location defintiely skews results...in case anyone wondered, reston,VA is the home of the dreaded AOL.

It seems rather unlikely unless it is caused by a spambot.
