What is the meaning of the name Tereza ?

The baby name Tereza is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced teh-REH-zah.

Tereza is Czech, Greek, Latin, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak in Origin.

Tereza is a Czech, Slovak, Portuguese, and Romanian spelling of Teresa. Its older source is Late Latin Theresia or Teresia, continuing Greek Therasía, a feminine personal name of late antiquity. The Greek form is traditionally linked with therízō, to reap or harvest, and thérōs, summer or harvest season; an alternative connection is the Aegean island-name Therasia, so harvester is conventional rather than certain.

The z spelling belongs especially to Czech and Slovak, but it also appears in Portuguese, including Brazil, and in Romanian. Western Europe more often has Teresa, Theresa, or French Thérèse, while neighboring Slavic languages use forms such as Terézia, Terezie, and Terezija. Christian use expanded after Teresa of Ávila, the sixteenth-century Spanish Carmelite reformer; a modern literary association is Tereza in Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being. In the United States it remains rare, with small SSA counts peaking in the 1990s.
