History & Origin
Thereasa is a spelling variant of Theresa, adding an extra vowel to the familiar name. Theresa's own roots are debated, with links to the Greek for 'summer' or 'harvest' and to an old place name. Its long popularity owes much to its saints. The Thereasa form is a phonetic reshaping that follows the parent name's fortunes.
Thereasa was always rare in this spelling, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1958, far below the common Theresa. A woman named Thereasa then is in her late sixties today.
