Taresa is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'thresher'. It means 'to reap' or 'to harvest', reflecting its agricultural roots. First recorded in the late 19th century, Taresa was initially more common in France but has since gained international recognition.
"The name Teresa experienced a significant surge in popularity between 1959 and 1970, with the highest numbers of births occurring annually during this period, peaking at 22 births in 1970. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor thereafter, with fewer than 15 births per year from 1981 onwards."
