Meaning
Theresa means 'harvester, reaper' in Greek. Saint Theresa of Ávila was a 16th-century Spanish mystic and author, as well as the patron saint of Spain. The name became popular in the 19th century in part due to the popularity of the French spelling, Thérèse, and the acclaim surrounding French writer Thérèse Raquin, by Emile Zola.
