I'm an Althea born in 1990 and I love my name! Who wouldn't want to be a Greek Goddess❤️ I use Thea as a nickname. People sometimes have a little trouble with Althea because they've never heard it, but It's easy to remember once they do. I'm white and I find Althea is a more common name among African-American women, possibly because of Althea Gibson's notoriety.

My name is Althea; named mostly after Althea Gibson and partly hollyhock. I am 100% Polish (or as some people say, 200% with mom and dad both being 100%). My mom was impressed with Althea Gibson❤️s ability and loved the Rose of Sharon shrub. More to say, but haven't the time right now!

My name is Althea and was born in 1972. My father was the one who chose my name and I have always loved it for its uniqueness. Some have simply called me Thea but most people use my full name. During my lifetime so far I have only ever met two other women with the'same name. I wouldn't give it up for anything.
