Tersa

Tersa is a unique, gender-neutral name with roots in various cultures. Most commonly recognized as an Emilian-Romagnol form of Terza or Terzo, it traces back to the Latin Tertius, meaning "third," often used in Roman times to name a third-born son. Tersa also appears across multiple European languages as a verb form, participle, or adjective in French, Spanish, Italian, and Latin, making it a wonderfully cosmopolitan choice. Tersa may also be connected to Teresa or Theresa, adding Greek and Portuguese influence. Here, it is derived from the Greek theros and therizo, meaning "summer" or "harvest." This layered background makes Tersa a beautifully eclectic option for your little one.
