Boho Berry February Snail Mail Rewind, Day One: The Meaning Of My Name

 

Origin of the name Teresa: Of uncertain etymology, Teresa is generally believed to be derived from the Greek therizein (to reap, to gather in) and thus takes the definition of “harvester.” The first known bearer of the name was the Spanish wife of St. Paulinus, a 5th-century Roman bishop of Nola.

 The name Dene is an English baby name. In English, the meaning of the name Dene is a combination of Deana (divine) and Dina (from the valley; avenged).
