What the Data Says About Teresia

Decade-level aggregation shows that Teresia performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 443 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Teresia shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Alabama, which accounts for 49 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Tennessee and Mississippi. In total, SSA state-level files list Teresia in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Teresia in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,133 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
