Terenia
I met a woman in her 40s names Terenia today. It's not in the main database but a quick Google tells me there are some minor celebrities with the name.Pronounced te-renn-ia. WDYT?

It does seem a bit like an elaboration of Terra. Very interesting. I kind of like it!

It makes me think of rain. “Torrential rains drenched parts of South England and Wales.” The way I pronounce it anyway.

I agree with Higuma Kanora that it sounds like an earth goddess. After plugging it in the search engine, Terenia is a village in Poland, but I don't know whether the village was named for a person. A different name site suggests that is is derived from Terence.

I'd pronounce it te-ree-nee-ah. I think it sounds quite nice and different without being stupid

I think it's kinda cool and earthy sounding, like the name of one of a trio of godessess: Terenia, Celestia, and Aquaria :)

Hi !!!I would pronounce it te-RE-nya but I'm Italian so my pr. could be wrong.It reminds me Tirana (in Albania) and the Tyrrhenian Sea. I much prefer Terra.
