Terri

Terri is an English feminine name that originated as a short form of Teresa or Theresa, names whose ultimate origin is uncertain but possibly derived from Greek, perhaps connected to the island of Thera or to a word meaning to harvest or to hunt. It came into independent use as a given name during the twentieth century, particularly popular in English-speaking countries from the 1940s through the 1960s. The spelling Terri distinguishes it as a feminine form alongside the masculine Terry, and it is also related to the variants Teri and Terrie.
