About the name Tea
Tea is a short form of the Greek names Theodora and Dorothea, both built from theos ‘god’ and doron ‘gift’, so the name is usually glossed as ‘gift of God’. It is used as an independent given name in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and Scandinavia, where it is pronounced with two syllables. The accented spelling Téa is borne by the American actress Téa Leoni. The name is unrelated to the English word for the drink.
