About Tress
Less popular than Tess, perhaps because it coincides with a word for a long lock of hair, or because it rhymes with stress, Tress may nevertheless make a distinctive and playful short form or an unexpected way to honor a Theresa.
Quietly but more familiarly heard in the forms of Tressa or Tressie, it did feature in the 2023 epic fantasy novel Tress of the Emerald Sea by Bernard Sanderson.
Pronounced TRESS.
As of October 2026, Tress ranked #9005 for girls in US births in 1975 SSA, peaked at #6574 for girls in 1969.
