Theria

Ancient Therasia


Some sources suggest Theria comes from the girl's name Eleutheria, meaning "free" in Greek, but more intelligent sources suggest it comes from Theresa, from the Greek word theros, meaning "late summer," and that people with this name may have come from the island of Therasia. The most famous bearer of that name is Mother Theresa, although there were two saints with the name.

There were no baby girls born in 2010 with the name Theria. Theria is pronounced THER-ee-ya. Enjoy this rare, beautiful name.
