Terri-Lea is English in Origin.

Terri-Lea is a modern hyphenated feminine name in English formed from Terri and Lea. Terri is a nickname form of Teresa/Theresa (Spanish/Portuguese Teresa), probably from Late Greek Therasia; its meaning is uncertain but often linked to Greek theros “summer” or therizein “to harvest.” Lea may reflect the Hebrew biblical name Leah (Le’ah), interpreted as “weary” or possibly “wild cow,” or the English place-name element lea from Old English leah “meadow, clearing.” Combined, Terri-Lea can suggest “summer meadow” or “harvest in the clearing.”

Hyphenated double forenames rose in popularity across the UK, Ireland, and Australia in the later 20th century, aligning with Terri’s mid-century vogue; the combination also appears in Canada and the U.S. Variants include Terrie-Lea, Teri-Lea, and Terry-Lea; with alternative second elements: Terri-Lee, Terri-Leigh, Teri-Leigh. Unhyphenated or spaced forms (Terri Lea, Terrilea) occur as well.
