Tes

When spelled with one -s instead of two, the name Tes can become gender-neutral. It is, of course, still a shortened form of Theresa, like Tess, its closest variant. With the definitions of "summer," "to harvest," and "from Therasia," Tes evokes reminders of the sight, sound, and scent of a lush green island on a summer's day. Therasia, a Greek island located off the coast of Santorini, is said to have inspired monikers like Theresa and Tes, so it's honored in their meanings. Some sources link Tes to ទេស, a word that translates to "country" or "land" in Khmer, the national language of Cambodia. As sweet Tes grows, they'll experience summers at home and in places further afield, basking in the sunshine and chasing the ocean's waves.
