Meaning & origin
Thresia is a rare spelling variant of Theresa, first recorded in U.S. data in 1894 during a period when Theresa was widely used. Its peak year was 1895, after which usage declined sharply. The name has remained stable at very low frequency, with virtually no births in recent years. Though the spelling Thresia is uncommon, the underlying name Theresa has deep historical roots across European cultures.
Thresia is a variant spelling of Theresa, which likely derives from the Greek verb therizo, meaning 'to harvest,' or the Greek island of Thera. The name was popularized by Saint Teresa of Ávila and has been used in English-speaking countries since the 19th century. The spelling Thresia emerged as a later, less common variant.
