Teres%c4%97

Teresė is the Lithuanian form of Teresa, ultimately derived from the Greek name Therasia, which may relate to the Greek island of Thera or possibly to the Greek word meaning to harvest or to reap. The name was spread widely through Catholic Europe by the influence of Saint Teresa of Ávila, the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic and Doctor of the Church. Teresė follows standard Lithuanian feminine name morphology and shares its heritage with cognates such as Teresa, Thérèse, Theresa, and Terezia across various European languages.
