Thersia, derived from the Greek 'Therasia', was once a popular name in ancient Rome. It is composed of two elements: 'ther' meaning 'to hunt' and 'sia/sis' signifying 'goddess'. This unique name was often bestowed upon females by families with strong ties to hunting culture or those who wished to invoke the divine favor of goddesses associated with wild nature. Today, Thersia is rare but retains its allure due to its distinct sound and historical roots.
"Thersia was a popular name for newborns in the mid-20th century, with peak years being 1949 and 1956, each seeing 9 or more babies named Thersia."
