What's in a word? What's in a name? Well, I decided to snap out of my self-imposed stupor, and do a little research on a name very dear to my heart. The one who makes my world spin round.
Tessa is a feminine given name. The name is thought to be derived from the name Theresa, in turn derived from the Greek verb therizein, meaning to harvest. Common versions are Theresa, Teresa, Therese, Tess, Terri, Tessie, Reese, Tisa, Resa, and T. Teresita is the diminutive form of Teresa in Spanish.
The meaning of the name Tessa, or Theresa, is "one who reaps". The name implies one who is destined to work hard, but who will receive great bounty for her efforts. The name is associated with the fall season of the earth's life cycle: a time of harvest, of plenty, of purposeful labors, of warmth and generosity. Tessa shares her harvest with the world, as the earth has given its fruits to Tessa, thus respecting and supporting the natural cycle of life.
