Terri is English, Greek in Origin.
Terri is an English pet form of Teresa, treated in modern use as a given name in its own right. The base name is first securely visible in late antique Latin as Teresia or Theresia, probably reflecting Greek Therasia, an island-name connected with Thera. Its exact sense is debated; the familiar gloss harvester rests on Greek therízein, to reap, with the agent idea supplied by later interpretation rather than by the old form itself. The spelling Terri uses the English diminutive ending -i.
English use of Terri expanded in the twentieth century, especially in the United States, where it peaked for girls around the late 1950s and 1960s before declining sharply. Religious associations belong chiefly to Teresa, notably Saint Teresa of Ávila and Thérèse of Lisieux. Related forms include Terry, Teri, Teresa, Theresa, Thérèse, Tess, and Tessa; Terry has also been used more often for males.
