A common male name, Spanish and Portuguese form of Thomas, meaning 'twin.'
From Greek 'Thomas' (Θωμάς), derived from Aramaic 'teoma' meaning 'twin,' popularized by Saint Thomas the Apostle in Christian tradition.
Saint Thomas was historically called 'the twin' but we don't know who his twin was, which makes it funny that we kept the 'twin' name for thousands of years without the context—the name outlived its meaning.
