Tenido means had as in "possessed or owned"; not the same as the auxiliary verb had [haber]. (había, hubo. hubiera)

It also is the used for the past tense form of idioms like tener hambre, tener sueño, tener frío, etc.

I had been cold...había tenido frío

I have been cold...he tenido frío.

i.e. "Hemos tenido muchas buenas ideas." It's the past participle of tener. - sullivanbcsc, Oct 4, 2011
