Thea
Thea is a very popular name in England, Germany and the Scandinavian region. It is also used as a nickname for a number of names; namely Dorothea or Theodora, both of which happen to have a similar root and meaning. Dorothea developed as the female form of the late Greek name Dorotheos, so the meaning of Thea is 'endowment of God', from the Ancient Greek components 'doron' meaning 'blessing' and 'theos' meaning 'god'. Alternatively, Theodora is the feminine form of the Ancient Greek name Theodoros, just as Thea is the feminine form of Theos, so means 'goddess' in Ancient Greek. Both Dorothea and Theodora have been in use since the Middle Ages and there have been a number of religious figures with the names. Their English variants, Dorothy and Theodora have been in used in England since the fifteenth and sixteenth century respectively. The name Thea was not used on its own until the nineteenth century and it is still quite rare today.
