Origin and meaning of Tomás
Tomás comes from the Aramaic Te'oma, 'twin', passed into Greek as Thomas. It's the name of the apostle Thomas, known for doubting Christ's resurrection until he saw it with his own eyes, giving rise to the phrase 'doubting Thomas'. In Portugal it's been among the most chosen boys' names in recent years, valued for its short, modern sound while still rooted in Christian tradition.
