Theresa is a female name with antecedents in Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese. The name has multiple meanings in Greek, the first of which is ‘from the island of Therassia’ or’resident of Thera,’ Thera, Thira, Therassia, or Thirassia being a Greek island that is now known as Santorini. Another potential interpretation is huntress or hunter. However, it is widely recognised that the ancient Greek name means “late summer.” The origin of the Spanish spelling of the name Teresa is the name Therasia.
In the fourth century, the widow of Saint Paulinus of Nola is one of the earliest documented bearers of this name. Between the Middle Ages and the 16th century, the appellation was exclusive to Spain and Portugal. It eventually spread to the rest of the world due to the notoriety of Saint Teresa of Avila, a Spanish nun. The Austrian Queen Maria Teresa inherited the domains of her father, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, making her a notable bearer of the name. Saint Therese of Lisieux, who wrote a moving account of her life titled “The Story of A Soul” and is one of the most well-known saints of the modern era, brought the French form of the name ‘Therese’ to prominence during the 19th century.
