Tea

Meaning of Tea

Tea, pronounced TEE, sprouted as a petite pet form of the Greek names Dorotea and Teodora—literally a “gift of God” in miniature. In English-speaking circles, its crisp single-syllable rhythm conjures both the cozy charm of an English countryside tea party and the laid-back buzz of a Brooklyn café. Though it gently hovers in the lower reaches of the U.S. top 1,000, that quiet rarity only adds to its appeal: a name delightfully easy to spell (no spelling bees required) and impossible to mispronounce. With global echoes of warmth and hospitality steeped into every syllable, Tea offers parents a chance to choose something evergreen, refreshing and utterly one-of-a-kind—just like her namesake brew.
