What the Data Says About Terisa

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,030 babies named Terisa between 1946 and 2005, spanning 60 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Terisa performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 369 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Terisa shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 62 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Terisa in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Terisa 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 1,030 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
