Meaning & origin
Therma is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1908, its peak year of usage. It has never placed among the top 1000 names and shows a stable trajectory, with no recorded uses in recent decades. The name's origin is speculative, possibly from Greek θέρμη (therme) meaning 'heat' or 'warmth'. Without notable bearers or cultural prominence, Therma remains a curiosity from the early 1900s, primarily of interest to parents seeking an extremely obscure vintage name.
