Best Answer

Thérèse is a French equivalent of the English name "Teresa".

Specifically, the name functions as a feminine proper noun. It remains of unknown etymology even though suggested origins and meanings tend to cluster around the Greek island name Θηρασία (Thirasia) in the Santorini archipelago or the Greek words θερος (theros, "summer") and θεριζω (therizo, "to gather"). Some scholars suggest that the name originates in the Greek verb θήρίζεἰν (therizein) for "to harvest". The pronunciation will be "tey-rehz" in French.
