History & Origin
Tresea grew from the widely loved Theresa, or its short form Tressa, reshaped with an -ea ending. Theresa's uncertain meaning, tied to a Greek word for 'harvest' or to an old place name, passes down to it.
The name was never common, drawing only a couple dozen girls a year at its high in the mid-nineteen-fifties before fading. A woman named Tresea then would be of a grandmother's generation; the standard Theresa and Teresa have far outlasted this variant spelling.
