Meanings: French cognate of Theresa, a name of uncertain etymology. It is generally believed to be derived from the Greek therizein (to reap, to gather in). The first known bearer of the name was the Spanish wife of St. Paulinus, a 5th-century Roman bishop of Nola. Theresa was not used outside the Iberian Peninsula until the 16th century, when the fame of St. Teresa of Avila (1515-82) made the name popular among Roman Catholics throughout Europe. (TAY-REHZ)
