Terresa 

(also Theresa, Therese; French: Thérèse) is a feminine given name.

It originates in the Iberian Peninsula in late antiquity. Its derivation is uncertain, it may be derived
from Greek θερίζω (therízō) "to harvest", or from θέρος (theros) "summer". It is first recorded in the
form Therasia, the name of Therasia of Nola, an aristocrat of the 4th century. Its popularity outside of
Iberia increased because of saint Teresa of Ávila, and more recently Thérèse of Lisieux and Mother
Teresa.
In the United States it was ranked as the 852nd most popular name for girls born in 2008, down from
226th in 1992 (it ranked 65th in 1950, and 102nd in 1900). Spelled "Teresa," it was the 580th most
popular name for girls born in 2008, down from 206th in 1992 (it ranked 81st in 1950, and 220th in
