The name Tertia has also been associated with several notable figures throughout history, including Tertia Aemilia, a Roman woman who played a significant role in the political life of ancient Rome. Despite its historical and cultural significance, Tertia remains relatively uncommon as a first name, perhaps due to its unfamiliarity to many people outside of academic or religious circles. However, for those seeking a distinctive and meaningful name with deep roots in history, Tertia is certainly an option worth considering.
