    Tressa

    Pronounced TRES-uh

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Tressa does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Third; Harvest; Threshing floor", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Tressa.
    Meaning
    "Third; Harvest; Threshing floor"
    Origin
    Cornish/Celtic

    Tressa evokes the threshing floor — where Ruth met Boaz, where David built an altar, and where grain is separated from chaff. The threshing floor is where God refines, redeems, and reveals His purposes.

    Spiritual meaning

    Tressa is the threshing floor — where chaff is separated from grain, where redemption unfolds, where altars are built.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
