Thirsa

Thirsa is a feminine name of Dutch origin, derived from the Biblical name Tirzah, which means 'delight' or 'pleasantness' in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, Tirzah was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad and also the name of a city. The Dutch variant Thirsa has been used since the Protestant Reformation when biblical names became popular. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, it maintains modest usage in the Netherlands and among families with Dutch heritage. Thirsa combines a distinctive sound with meaningful biblical roots, offering a rare name choice that carries a positive connotation of joy and beauty.

Pronounced THIR-suh.
