Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Terezija je slovinská a chorvátska podoba mena Terézia, sprostredkovaná latinskými formami Therasia a Theresia. Pôvod mena nie je jednoznačne objasnený. Najčastejšie sa spája s gréckym miestnym menom Théra alebo Thérasia, prípadne s gréckym slovesom therízein vo význame „žať“. Časť bádateľov však vzhľadom na rané rozšírenie mena na Pyrenejskom polostrove uvažuje aj o iberskom pôvode.
