History & Origin
Tressia reached a small number of girls in the twentieth century, with a quiet high around 1962. It works as a fuller spelling of Tressa, itself a short form of Theresa, and inherits that name's disputed Greek roots rather than adding a meaning of its own.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, while Theresa proper was widespread. A girl named Tressia then would be in her sixties today. The name reads as a soft, mid-century embellishment of a familiar classic.
