Theres

Theres is a German short form of Theresia, itself the Latinate rendering of the Spanish and Portuguese name Teresa. The ultimate origin of Teresa is uncertain, though it is often linked to the Greek island of Thera or to the Greek root meaning to harvest or reap. The name gained widespread use across Catholic Europe largely through the influence of Saint Teresa of Ávila, the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic and Doctor of the Church. Related forms include Therese, Theresa, Tresa, and Resi.
