A feminine given name, derived from the Greek goddess of summer and the harvest.
From Greek 'Theresia,' possibly related to 'therein' (summer) or 'theros' (heat). The name became popular in Christian Europe through Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, a beloved 19th-century French nun.
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux wrote about finding holiness in small everyday acts—'the little way'—and became one of Christianity's most beloved figures without ever leaving her monastery, showing that quiet greatness matters as much as dramatic deeds.
