<p>Terese is a feminine given name that serves as a variation of Teresa or Theresa. These names derive from the Greek 'therizein' meaning 'to harvest,' or possibly 'therizo' meaning 'summer harvest.' Some sources also connect it to the Greek island of Thera (Santorini). Terese has a refined, elegant quality while being slightly less common than the more traditional Teresa spelling. The name gained modest popularity in Europe and North America throughout the 20th century, partly influenced by notable figures like Saint Teresa of Ávila and Mother Teresa. Terese carries associations of warmth, compassion, and spiritual depth due to these religious connections, while maintaining a classic, timeless appeal.</p>
