Thera the teaser

"Thera" - (Skt. sthavira), term of respect applied to monks and nuns, especially to those of venerable age. Samghatthera is the denotion of the senior priest in any assembly of bhikkhus, or in the whole community

Baby name meaning: wild (female; Greek)

A volcano which erupted in the 1400s BC, leaving a ring-shaped island now known as Santorini. This is one possible source of the legend of Atlantis being destroyed. Near Crete.

Interesting that Thera has Greek and Eastern religion meanings, wouldn't you say?
