Expecting a late summer baby? Then Theresa might be destined to be your little girl’s name. It means, quite literally, “late summer”. Theresa is of Greek origin, possibly deriving from the Greek isle of Therasia. The name can also mean “delectable harvest” as well.

If you’ve been hearing the name Tinsley lately, there’s good reason. The name has become very popular lately, possibly due to its multiple meanings, like, “shiny metallic tree trimming” or “Tynni’s meadow”. It’s a gender-neutral name of English origin, and is pronounced “Tinz-lee”.
