Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Tereza je slovenská podoba mena Teresa, doloženého v neskorej antike v latinskej forme Therasia. Jeho pôvod nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Najčastejšie sa spája s gréckym názvom ostrova Therasia, so slovom théros vo význame „leto“ alebo so slovesom therízō „žať“. Nemožno však vylúčiť ani predgrécky či starý iberský pôvod.
