Tomas

Tomas is a form of Thomas, derived from the Aramaic name Toma, meaning twin. It spread throughout Europe via the Greek Thomás and Latin Thomas, carried largely by the apostle Thomas of the New Testament, whose legendary missionary journey to India made the name widely venerated. The name appears across numerous European traditions under closely related spellings, including Tomás in Spanish, Portuguese, and Irish, Tomáš in Czech and Slovak, Tómas in Icelandic, Tòmas in Scottish Gaelic, and Tomàs in Catalan.
