History & Origin
Theresea is a variant spelling of Theresa, a Greek name whose sense is uncertain, read either as 'harvest' or as a link to the island Therasia. Its long popularity owes much to Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint Therese of Lisieux, and this spelling is a modern American touch on the classic.
It appears thinly in American records around the middle of the last century and reached its slim peak in the late nineteen-fifties. A girl named Theresea then is in her late sixties today.
