Re: Tess/ Tessa
in reply to a message by A
Indeed, "tessara" is four in classical Greek ("tessera" in mondern contemporary Greek). However I have found no evidence that there is amn etymological connection, and feel it is quite unlikely.
I have found no evidence of Tessa as classical Greek name - although Taessa is recorded as a Greek name.

Also Pavlos do you know what this name means?The site I had gotten the 'number 4 meaning' from suggested this as a great nickname for a fourth born child.Thanks for the info.PS. Pavlos, do you live in Greece?take care.

I found the name Taessa in *A Lexicon of Greek Names*. I like it too, it is an extinct name well worth resurrecting! Unfortunately I dont have a clue as to its meaning!
Yep, I live in Greece. You should all come for the Olympic Games next year :)

((You should all come for the Olympic Games next year :)))That's the plan!. The best part of having family in Greece is I won't have to scramble to find a hotel in the Olympic rush. The last time I was in Greece was five years ago... Too long!
It is turly the most beautiful country in the world, and I don't just say that because I am Greek, I've been to Italy, Spain and Australia and they don't compare to the splendor and history that Greece has.Yiasas, Sto Kaylo.

Greece is indeed a great place to live, though downtown Athens can be very hectic, as with all busy cities. Its great you'll be here for the Olympics Anastasia :) I cant wait for th games, and just submitted my application to volunteer as a etranslator (Greek-English).
