Teréz

Teréz is a given name, typically female, originating from Hungary. It is the Hungarian form of the name Teresa, which itself has debated origins. Some theories suggest it derives from the Greek word "theros" meaning "summer," while others link it to a pre-Roman Iberian place name. The name gained prominence through Saint Teresa of Ávila, a 16th-century Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun.

In Hungary, Teréz is a well-established and historically significant name. It has been borne by notable figures across various fields, including arts, sciences, and public life. The popularity of the name has seen fluctuations over time, reflecting broader naming trends. It is often associated with a sense of grace and strength. The feast day for Saint Teresa is October 15th, and this date is sometimes observed by those named Teréz. While primarily a female given name, variations exist, and its usage can be found in both historical and contemporary contexts within Hungary and among Hungarian diaspora communities.
