Thom

Thom is an English given name functioning as a short form or spelling variant of Thomas, which derives from the Aramaic name Toma, meaning twin. Thomas was borne by one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, a figure whose story is particularly associated with doubt and eventual faith, which helped spread the name widely across the Christian world. The spelling Thom represents a historical and literary variant that retains the full feel of the longer name while offering a distinct written form. Related forms include Tom, Tommy, and the Scandinavian Tomas.
